[edit] Burial place error

Denzil Holles was not buried in St Margaret's Church, in Ifield, Sussex; he was buried in Westminster Abbey. His family are buried in Ifield (now part of Crawley), but not he himself.

The Holles family vault, in St Margaret's Church, Ifield, began to fill from 1662. This suggests Denzil Holles was living here at this time; but he had several manor houses in the South of England, including London. Holles's importance allowed his body the honour of the Abbey; but his family, of lesser importance, were buried in Ifield Parish Church. Peter symonds 18:31, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
