Nore

What is "Nore"?

The Nore is an anchorage in SE England. Until 1961 the name was attached to a naval command for the eastern area of England. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th ed. v. VII, p. 387.) PKKloeppel (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not buried at Westminster Abbey

Although a citation footnote was given to that point, Admiral Callaghan was NOT buried in Westminster Abbey, he merely had a funeral service held there preceding burial elsewhere. In his sketch in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, the burial is not distinctly mentioned or placed but the Commonwealth War Graves Commission record it to be the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin at Bathwick, Somerset. Had his remains been interred in the Abbey (which increasingly in the 20th century would have entailed cremation - the last exception to the rule being The Unknown Warrior) the CWGC would have recorded him under that place. I have amended the detail of his funeral and burial place accordingly. Cloptonson (talk) 21:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
