In Blidworth, Nottinghamshire, there is a tradition that Will Scarlet lies buried in some unknown spot of the graveyard of the church of St Mary of the Purification. Since no one can point visitors to the grave, a piece of the old church building has been brought into service as a marker commemorating the 'fact' that the outlaw lies buried here somewhere.[1]

The coordinates I have chosen for this entry are those of the church.
