Wikipedia:

Attached to the church is a small graveyard, particularly noted for including the grave of C. S. Lewis,[5] who died on 22 November 1963. The epitaph on his tombstone, chosen by his brother Warren Hamilton Lewis (buried in the same grave after his own death on 9 April 1973) and taken from Shakespeare‘s King Lear, reads “Men must endure their going hence.” This quotation was the quotation on the family calendar the day the mother of Warren and Clive Lewis died, 23 August 1908.

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.” -C.S. Lewis
