Mr and Mrs Stanley 3aldwin, when they made a recent tour of the Chateau country in the Loire Valley, visited the Abbey of Fontevrault, which contains the graves of King Richard Cueur de Lion and his father, King Henry Fitz Empress. They spent some time in visiting the abbey, and Mrs Baldwin, before leaving, laid sprays of oak leaves on the royal tombs. Oak sprays were brought from a forest in England in which the two Kings used to hunt more than seven centuries ago.
