In the family graveyard at High Elms., Lubbock (Lord Avebury) family estate, High Elms, Farnborough, Bromley, Greater London, BR6, England
1982
Alice, Lady Avebury, died 1981 and the Borough of Bromley resumed possession of the site to develop the present High Elms Country Park and Golf Course. The Borough moved some of the monuments to St Giles Church, Farnborough, although this memorial and that of his brother Henry were not accepted by the then Rector. However, Historic England (see References) has a different version of events, stating: 'When the family sold their estate in the 1930’s, the gravestones were moved and Captain Lubbock’s plane disappeared. Decades later, a vigilant member of the public spotted the memorial in a stonemason’s yard in Wiltshire. The mason refused to relinquish it, but eventually the plane was put up for auction. The family bought it back for £8,000. The restored memorial was re-sited in 2010 near its original location in what is now High Elms Country Park.'
