Only Half the Story!

This headstone caught my eye. It is in Preston Cemetery in Lancashire. Something is missing from the top - maybe a cross - as the fixing peg is visible. The top half of the stonework bearing the main inscription has fallen away and . . . oh, I wish I knew what on the damaged ceramic badge near the top?

    Yes indeed! The ceramic badge is especially intriguing.

    What a mystery, I can almost envision the face upon this badge, framed in that curly hair.

    Ah, well spotted, Nicole. Symbolic or representative? I wonder.

    13,000! Woo!

    Great imagination, Nicole!

    13,000, Charles. I am totally confused by my Graveyard Detective Fan Page with all the news on it on Facebook which records 17,000 post views in one month. Woo! Woo! Woo!
