I recall there being 2 graves at the top of a hill up the street that stated they were the resting place of Lord and Lady Fairfax, was there another Lord Fairfax? If so are they still there or have they been moved?<br />Thank youDignan9https://www.blogger.com/profile/15961356961861555557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717322201990332006.post-52846492817408788582016-04-30T21:00:15.060-04:002016-04-30T21:00:15.060-04:00I live near White Post, Va and would be happy to h...I live near White Post, Va and would be happy to help with the mystery if anyone has any leads.Ground Pounderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718371391682734652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717322201990332006.post-88963561732405806992013-03-24T19:46:58.626-04:002013-03-24T19:46:58.626-04:00I am a former Virginian who just visited Leeds thi...I am a former Virginian who just visited Leeds this past weekend with my son and Granddaughter and we too heard the same story about the sundial. The online search we did revealed a Washington Post story that says it likely does not exist.

I drive through White Post every once in a while, where Greenway Court was located, I will have to check it out one day.Little Bits of Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787708365294028181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717322201990332006.post-91647629235311958862012-12-15T10:36:24.352-05:002012-12-15T10:36:24.352-05:00Thanks for the post.

There is a sundial at Leeds Castle in England where he was born that tells the time in Fairfax, VA and they say there is one here that tells the time at Leeds Castle. I believe it may have been at Greenway Court. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648373140102187605noreply@blogger.com
