Uh, well, if you try to sneak in you can expect to get arrested; they're pretty good at protecting the place. It's quite ok to take a leisurely stroll around the perimeter of the complex and enjoy the view. But try to get any closer than that and your trip will end very badly.

With all respect to Dr. Riley, 8 large strawberry leaves signifies a duke. An earl's coronet would have 8 small strawberry leaves and 8 pearls.

Absolutely fantastic gallery. By far the best gallery of a burial crypt I've ever seen.

This is a coronet rather than a crown; a crown has arches over the top. This looks like the coronet of a duke. As to who, well...
