Another graveyard with some history behind! Well, at least for the fans of Nick Drake, like me. Located in the tiny beautiful village of Tanworth-​in-​Arden, in Warwickshire, St Mary Magdalene has a churchyard where the ashes of the cult folk musician remain since 1974.
I have been to this place twice and I probably will make it an «every year trip», as a way of celebrate and pay respect to this brilliant singer and songwriter.
I had no idea that Tanworth-​in-​Arden was so nearby where I live and you probably would be surprised to know it’s a Birmingham post code area.
The Churchyard is a wonderful English heritage hidden in the middle of this gorgeous village where the musician spent part of his life. Nick Drake’s gravestone is next to a big tree, where were also buried his parents.
From this point you have a wonderful view from the countryside fields and the church of St. Mary Magdalene itself. It’s impossible to explain who the entire atmosphere is really peaceful any time you visit this beautiful place.
You can visit Tanworth-​in-​Arden village and St. Mary Magdalene church by car leaving at the Junction 3 at M42, if you are coming from Birmingham, and the nearest train stations to get there are Wood End and Danzey stations.
