Historical person (?)
Long John Silver was a historical pirate, convicted and hanged.
I dont have any other info exept on the Church. The church dates from the fourteenth century
although largly rebuilt in the 1800s it also incorporates peices removed by Cromwell from Basing House.
If any one is very interested in the Grave they could try contacting the Church Itself, which may contain parrish records .
Multiple instances of the name John Silver appear in various parish records for places in Hampshire, England.
The list is not exhaustive. There may well be other instances in other English counties.
They can be found on reputable sources, often with scanned images of the relevant Parish Records:
