'Dracula's Grave' | Whitby3D ModelNoAI
High on Whitby’s east cliff, between the town and the ruins of Whitby Abbey, is St. Mary’s Church. The large graveyard went out of use in 1858 for burials, as it was running out of room and already a tourist attraction. This grave gets a lot of attention as either that of Dracula, or a pirate. Neither is true of course, and the skull depicted here is a momento mori, a once popular addition to grave markers to remind the living of our mortality. Please don’t go to Whitby and ask the locals ‘where is Dracula buried?’. Also, why would a pirate get a nice grave in a churchyard? Use your brain. Read a book. Preferably Dracula (1897).
Bram Stoker did set a scene in Dracula in this graveyard though, and it’s likely he was inspired by the great gothic ruins of the abbey, the magnificent views across the town and sea, and the illustrative spookiness of the eroding graveyard and its momentos.
