Hiking

"bastard graves" refers to the table tombs in the churchyard of All Saints' Church in Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset, specifically those of the Bastard and Barfoot families. These tombs are Grade II listed monuments and are a significant part of the churchyard's history. The "Bastard" part of the name comes from the fact that the notable architects Thomas Bastard (d. 1731) and John Bastard (d. 1778) were buried in these tombs, along with other members of their family. The tombs are known to have been rebuilt after the Blandford fire of 1731.
