Is Dick Turpin fact or fiction? He really did exist but a lot of fiction has grown up around him. His final resting place is St George's Churchyard in the Walmgate area of the City of York. For more detailed facts visit the Wikipedia article on him.
To find his grave the easiest approach is via Piccadily and then turn into Lead Mill Lane and then turn left into George Street. The church yard is opposite the church bounded by a hedge. Entrance is through a rusty gate set in the hedge on George Street facing the church. Alternatively approach down Walmgate and turn into George Street following it round the bend until you are by the church and opposite the church yard across the road.
