The crypt cannot be seen, but there is a plaque on the wall of the Wren Chapel, given by Sir John Randolph's great great great grand-daughter honoring the two brothers and their father.<br />Thanks for your comments.Janet Grunsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635290708361600803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-46694559341687187252013-04-15T16:05:51.228-04:002013-04-15T16:05:51.228-04:00Fascinating look at 'the old families'... ...Fascinating look at 'the old families'...

I didn't know this info but found it interesting. <br />I re-watched Gettysburg last week as I will be there in about a month.
