Leamington burial for Nelson’s admiral

The grave of one of Nelson’s admirals who was buried in Leamington has been visited by one of his descendants.

Richard Sinker is pictured at the grave of his great, great, great grandfather, Vice Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton.

Mr Sinker came up to Leamington from Guildford with his wife Jean by arrangement with the Leamington History Group. He has researched the history of the vice-admiral but had no idea where he was buried.

He is pictured with history group chairman Barry Franklin.
