Eleanor Rigby's Grave
St. Peter's Church
Liverpool, England
What do we know about the real woman behind one of the Beatles' most famous songs?

ON THE EVENING OF JULY 6, 1957, John Lennon was introduced to Paul McCartney by a mutual friend after Lennon’s band played a small show at St Peter’s church in Woolton, a village on the outskirts of Liverpool. The meeting took place in the hall across the street from the church. (Today, a plaque on the front of the hall commemorates the historic meeting.)

Earlier that day, Lennon’s band the Quarry Men had played during the Woolton village fete. The afternoon stage was set up on the school grounds directly behind the church. Lennon and McCartney would regular take short cuts through the church grounds in the early days before they became The Beatles. In the cemetery at St. Peter’s, a gravestone bears the name of Eleanor Rigby, which would eventually become the title of a 1966 hit song written by McCartney and included on the Beatles album Revolver. The grave is located in the section of the cemetery to the left of the church, in the second row facing the street, just to the right of the cemetery’s center walkway. The gravestone also features inscriptions for several other members of the Rigby family.

Though McCartney borrowed her name from the gravestone, the details about Eleanor Rigby in the song are fiction. According to the gravestone and census data, the real Eleanor was born in 1895 to parents Mary Rigby and Arthur Whitfield. She worked in a hospital in Liverpool, and in 1930 married a man named Thomas Woods. Eleanor lived in Woolton her whole life, and died at the age of 44 in 1939.

In 2017, deeds for the Rigby family grave space went up for auction, alongside an 1899 miniature Bible inscribed with Eleanor’s name, and, in a separate lot, the original handwritten score for the song.

my humour for the world of self-employed robots found its limit when, besides defective brakes, open door, defective airbag and injector, the car warned me that the tank was empty, although i had just come from the petrol station ...

if it was up to my black box, my car would be in the garage all year and i would call a taxi 😀

the same micro-chip mess with my coffee machine ... it grinds the beans, heats the water, but then pours it into the rubbish and claims the bean hopper is empty ... the secret ... the chip measures the grinder's power consumption, and if it's too low, there were no beans ...

what a joy when the first robots take over the steering wheel and claim that because no 37 degrees are measured, the pedestrian crossing is empty.

terminator must be rewritten ... 😀

They are taking the hobbits to Leningrad! Khraniteli, the Soviet take on Lord of the Rings.

This is a thing, unless I am tripping. A 1991 Russian version of The Fellowship of the Ring (first book only, folks), made at the fag end of the USSR, just before it collapsed.

And its glorious. Behold Aragorn on the bridge of Khazad-dûm!

And its on youtube! And it has Tom Bombadil!
