A Yorkshire church where a legendary Hollywood actor from the 1940s and 1950s is buried could be turned into a home under new plans.
. He was a fixture of films and TV series for more than 30 decades until his death in 1971. He died in the town of Harrogate after suffering an aortic aneurysm while visiting his mother, and his ashes were interred at the cemetery.
He played roles including Kit Locksby in The Wicked Lady , the Apostle Peter in The Robe , Lord John Roxton in The Lost World and General Montgomery in The Battle of El Alamein . He also famously appeared in cult 1960s TV series Batman as the arch-villain Sandman. A planning application has been lodged with the council to convert the church itself into a three-bed home. The building, which was first opened as a cemetery chapel in 1871, has been empty for more than a decade after being hit by dry rot and damp.. It was designated as a grade II-listed building in 1975.
