Professor Robert Newstead

In Overleigh cemetery lies the grave of Professor Robert Newstead, after whom the Newstead Gallery in the Grosvenor Museum is named. He did not do well at school and left early, but managed to work his way up to being a full Professor at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, as well as becoming a leading archaeologist and excavating half of Chester. A fascinating man, his grave is surprisingly modest, and was, until recently, neglected. However, I am told that the staff at the museum are now having outings to keep it tidy.
