Fodor's Expert Review St. Peter's Church

This parish church is easily recognizable by its 200-foot-high tower and spire. Lewis Tregonwell, founder and developer of Bournemouth, is buried in the churchyard. Here, too, is the burial place of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein and wife of the great Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, whose heart is buried with her in the elaborate Shelley family vault, as is the author's mother, the feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft.
