Page "William Withering" Paragraph 4

He was buried on 10 October 1799 in Edgbaston Old Church next to Edgbaston Hall, Edgbaston, Birmingham, although the exact site of his grave is unknown.

The memorial stone, now moved inside the church, has foxgloves and Witheringia solanaceae ( see below ) carved upon it to commemorate his discovery and his wider contribution to botany.

He is also remembered by one of the Moonstones in Birmingham and by a blue plaque at Edgbaston Golf Club.
