    Well put together as always!!! Glad you showed his wonderful voice to full effect playing Klaatu. He went to school in my home city of Cambridge, though born in Bradford, and only became an actor because he didn't want to be an executive in his family firm. He had tried selling cars but stopped after a year failing to sell a single one!! Real name Eric Alexander, his great-great grandfather, John Rennie (1761-1821) designed and built Waterloo Bridge. His designs for London Bridge were taken up after his death by his sons - the London Bridge later bought by the Americans and taken brick by brick to Arizona. Always a heavy smoker which hospitalised him on a few occasions in the late 1960s, he lived in Geneva in his last few years, and is perhaps only buried in Harrogate because he died there of a heart attack, at his mother's house, whilst comforting her on the death of his older brother. The attack was due to an aneurysm from his emphysema... he never quite hit the heights of stardom, perhaps being 6' 4" was a bit too tall for Tom Cruise-like appeal.

      Can't believe that the research didn't reveal his great-great grandfather. Anyhow, many thanks Mark, much appreciated, as always 💙.

      This cemetery is deceiving as it's quite small. In fact, probably one of the smallest locations to date. However, really appreciate you watching. Many thanks. 💙

    These amazingly structured videos are not just quick tours they are an well researched and well presents histories. It is obvious that there is a hell of a lot of planning and that must go into producing them. On this topic absolutely he best on UA-cam and more people will discover that.

    I have lived in Harrogate for 56 years and only recently found out about Michael, s grave and visited to say Hello.Very surprised it wasn't a bigger separate grave stone with just him on it.

    I know this cemetery well as my parents lived in Harrogate and my brother still does. Did you actually show Michael Rennie’s grave? Was it the large white obelisk . I didn’t see his name?

      Rennie's grave was indeed the large white obelisk. Also, it's the family plot. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

    Is there also a crematorium at this cemetery? Asking because I know Steve Marriott (of the group, The Small Faces) was cremated at Harlow Crematorium in 1991.

    • @EnglishGrave
      @EnglishGrave  3 роки тому +2

      Hello Sandy, Thanks for your message. Harlow Hill cemetery does not have a crematorium. However, i do believe your request is referring to Harlow crematorium in Essex. I'm quite sure that the U.K has two places of location called "Harlow". Hope this helps! and thanks for watching.
