We explored the small village of Willoughby (amongst others) and explored its 14th century church. Captain John Smith, famous for his role in the Pochahontas story, was baptised at the Willoughby church. It was rather fascinating to read the tombstones found just outside the main church doors - one entire family actually, all buried in the same plot, the last to die was Sarah Hill in 1906, who was predecased by her husband and 5 children, one on Christmas Day and one as young as 3 months!
