_Whychcote of St. John's._--In one of the volumes published under the
foregoing title, in 1833, there is a striking story, evidently fictitious
in the main, but assuming, as an element of fact, the remembered existence
of a head-stone over a grave in the little burial-ground, under the shadow
of the venerable ruins of Tynemouth Priory in Northumberland, containing
the single word "Fanny." Does any one of the Tyneside readers of the "NOTES
AND QUERIES" personally recollect the actual existence of such a memorial?
Is the _real name_ of the author of the entertaining work disclosed in any
subsequent publication, or is it generally known?
