A hundred and seventeen feet of granite over a burial chamber, paid for by public subscription. After a gang tried to steal the body in 1876 to ransom it for a jailed counterfeiter, the coffin spent years hidden in the basement, and when it was finally set in concrete in 1901 the lid was opened one last time so witnesses could confirm who was inside. The bronze nose on the bust outside is worn gold by visitors rubbing it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
