Nonsuch Park, a mile or so to the northeast of Epsom, has benches lined up along the sunny side of the north wall of the formal garden; a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the garden - or just to doze - in the summer. Nearly all of these benches are dedicated to former users of the park, often with homely and rather old-fashioned names such as 'Gladys and Arthur Woods'. A custom I rather like.
They do the same thing in Berkeley Square, but with the difference that the names are not so homely. This one caught my eye, but I have failed to find out who she was. Korotkova seems to be the correct anglicisation of a reasonably common Russian name, but for once google fails to deliver, with some queries attracting no hits at all.
