Peter harbison remembers the antiquarian Lord Walter Fitzgerald
Epitaphs and history were his passion.

Today his name will be known to far too few beyond the aficionados of tombstone inscriptions (a rare and elite breed). Nonetheless, it is worth bringing him out of the shadows and proclaiming his achievements to a wider audience.
