Is it something to do with Atropa belladonna, or Deadly Nightshade?
The name Atropa is thought to be derived from that of the Greek goddess Atropos......

Not up with early Gleeks, sorry. Had a Greek girlfriend once, couldn't keep up with her either!

Nereus a further clue the herb is sage, so the lttle building is to do with death and sage

A little history quiz for the weekend Who was this man?

Started working as a brewer

before joining the army, where he championed soldier’s rights.
Played a major role in a pivotal event in English history that was then named after him.
Eventually had his own palace but eventually hung at Tyburn

Interesting, in looking at this Oliver Cromwell, and a few others, were dead, and dug up, then rehanged at Tyburn. That wacky Charles II

Migrant: your search sounds warm unlike Charles II who had his revenge served cold. Oliver didn't feel a thing.
