Nerissa Bowes-Lyon is buried in a churchyard in Reigate, Surrey! I found her grave last week whilst looking for my birth grandmother's grave. I noticed the surname and posted details on another thread at the time. It is a very small, simple headstone - no sign of grandeur at all. I wonder how she ended up in Reigate? Claire |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerissa_Bowes-Lyon says When Nerissa was 22 and Katherine was 15, ***they were removed from their family home and placed in the Royal Earlswood Hospital in Surrey - where Nerissa spent the next 46 years.*** The sisters reportedly had the mental age of six and were largely unable to speak. Three of the Bowes-Lyon sisters' cousins were institutionalized as well, all classified as mentally disturbed: Idonea, Etheldreda, and Rosemary Fane. Nerissa Bowes-Lyon was buried in Redhill, Surrey. |

Thank you for adding this. How sad that they were institutionalised for so long and Nerissa was buried in such a simple grave. Reigate/Redhill are neighboroughing towns - I don't know where the borders are but it was definitely her grave. Thanks Claire |
