From the Tisbury Local History Society website:
"East of the church lie the graves of John Lockwood Kipling and Alice Macdonald [who refused to change her name upon marriage...],
the parents of the author Rudyard Kipling. After a long and distinguished artistic career in India, the Kiplings retired
to a residence along Hindon Lane which they renamed 'The Gables'. Their famous son visited them here and,
whilst working on his novel 'Kim', used one of the pupils from Tisbury Boys' School as the model for the main character."
