A fitting tribute to her. 1895 -1939 R I P "Died in the church and was buried along with her name. Nobody came." McCartney's recollection of how he chose the name came under scrutiny in the 1980s, after a headstone engraved with the name "Eleanor Rigby" was discovered in the graveyard of St Peter's Parish Church in Woolton, in Liverpool. Part of a well-known local family, Rigby had died in 1939 at the age of 44. Close by was a headstone bearing the name McKenzie. St Peter's was where Lennon attended Sunday school as a boy, and he and McCartney first met at the church fete there in July 1957. McCartney has said that while he often walked through the churchyard, he had no recollection of ever seeing Rigby's grave. He attributed the coincidence to a product of his subconscious.

'Fierce bidding' expected as Eleanor Rigby Bible to be auctioned. Mon Aug 21 2017
The name, made famous by The Beatles' song, is inscribed on a headstone in St Peter's churchyard in Woolton, Liverpool, where Paul McCartney first met John Lennon at a church fete.
A certificate of purchase and a receipt for the grave space will be sold in a lot with a miniature Bible, dated 1899 and with the name Eleanor Rigby written inside. Paul Fairweather, from Omega Auctions, which is selling both lots, said: "Each item is fantastic, unique and of significant historical importance in itself so to have both to come up for auction at the same time is an incredible coincidence and it will be exciting to see how they perform.
"I expect there to be fierce bidding from across the globe."
The name Eleanor Rigby was immortalised in the song which was released as the B-side of Yellow Submarine in 1966.
McCartney, who wrote the lyrics, reportedly said it was simply a name that came to him, but it later emerged that it was inscribed on a headstone in the graveyard which he and Lennon used to regularly use as a shortcut.
Deeds for the grave space, purchased in October 1915 by her grandmother Frances, were discovered by a relative when the estate of two of Ms Rigby's half-sisters was left to the family.
The two items will be among the lots on sale at the Beatles Memorabilia Auction to be held in Warrington on September 11, 2017.

Poor old Eleanor Rigby. Nobody came to her funeral and now nobody wants to pay enough for the deeds to her Liverpool burial plot and BIBLE, both failed to sell at a Beatles auction.
