Siani no a clue is the name of a herb, and death

[Nereus]

Siani no a clue is the name of a herb, and death

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!

[lindosfan1]

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

[Jimbob]

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

[migrant]

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

[Jimbob]

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

[Jimbob]

Bonus point for namimg the said event and significance.
