Where Kit Marlowe Was Buried.
St. Nicholas, Deptford, possesses richer literary, artistic and naval associations than most churches of the riverside. It was the parish church of John Evelyn and his tenant, Peter the Great, who delighted to make the parson drunk, as well as of a long line of naval heroes. One of the many historic monuments quaintly commemorates Peter Pett, "the Noah of his age," who invented the frigate. A weird wood carving, representing the prophet Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones is by Grinling Gibbons, who was "discovered" here by Evelyn. The parish register records the burial of Christopher Marlowe, "slaine by ffrancis Archer" on June 1, 1593.-Westminster Gazette.
