Looking for a burial

I was wondering if anyone can help me.

As a child my Mum used to stay in Glemsford a lot (she was evacuated to Lavenham after this).

My uncle who was lost in the 2nd World War had a lurcher who died at Glemsford.
This dog was buried near Glemsford Station and Squire Paddy Lambert from Foxearth knew the children well and had the grave made special by having iron railings erected around it.

Can anyone else remember it and does anyone know if it still exists?

Here's hoping,
Jane Goodger

Underwood and Theobald

Shirley ( I have her email address) has sent this:
Have just discovered that my great great grandfather Lewis Robert Underwood died in Glemsford 1 July 1913 aged 76.
This has been quite a revelation as he was born in Marylebone London and was a fishmonger/fruiter and later a cab proprietor in Southwark London.
My last sightings of him are as a widow in London in 1901.
The informant at his death was an Alice E Theobald.
Would love to know what brought him to Glemsford.
I have sent Shirley what I can deduce from the 1901 Census.
Does anyone know any more?
