Still Waters Posted February 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Human remains, found at a stately home in Cornwall, are thought to be those of the man who built it. Sir James Tillie, who built Pentillie Castle in 1698, instructed his staff to place him in a chair with his pipe when he died. The instructions were followed before he was removed, but no burial information has ever been found. Archaeologists who examined a mausoleum built in 1713, upon his death, said a body had been found in a vault. http://www.bbc.co.uk...rnwall-21412875 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PersonFromPorlock Posted February 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I like his style. Jeremy Bentham did him one better. http://praxeology.net/bentham.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted February 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Good, now they have found his body in the vault, brick it up and leave him in peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshadow60 Posted February 11, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Yes; he chose his resting place very well. It's where he wanted to spend eternity, so let the poor man's bones rest in peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeder Posted February 12, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well I think, that they should see what are his books about, maybe he has something we don't know now, some "secret books" or some long lost ones. Ofcourse if they are still readable. Then after reading/scanning all of them, put that back and bury him as he wanted to be buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee Wolf Posted February 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That is a pretty cool story. I say let him rest, with his books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calaf Posted February 13, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 13, 2013 From the article: "Inside it a structure with leather studs and woodwork with handles on it was found, which are thought to be either a chair or coffin." Doesn't sound very convincing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
