The memorial to Captain Edward Thornborough Parker RN St George the Martyr, Deal, Kent
Captain E T Parker was a protoge of Lord Nelson and his aide-de-camp during the attack on Boulougne. He had a special place in Nelson's and Emma Hamilton's hearts. When he subsequently died from his wounds, Nelson paid all his medical expenses and gave £50 to erect a tomb over his grave.
This is the only known tomb in the country to be paid for by Lord Nelson himself.
