The Blue Angel

I thought I would share some more views of the Blue Angel. I think she is beautiful. What a wonderful memorial!

Fragile State

Jesus Called A Little Child Unto Him, records the saying above the inscriptions on this memorial in Clitheroe Cemetery in Lancashire. It records the passing of the two young children of Albert and Susie Sykes. Cecil Robert who died in his fifth year in 1875 and Bertie who died in his second year in 1864.
Albert, who was a Yarn Agent, had three more sons and a daughter who died at 28 years. Albert died in 1906, daughter Gladys in 1908 and Susie in 1910.

It is a beautiful headstone but if you look closely, a section of the inscription is in a fragile state. Water must have seeped in and there is a distinct line fold each side. It would take just a touch by a passing visitor and it would fall away and smash on the ground. Long may it remain intact.

Cemetery Snapshots

I finally got round to having a look in a couple of envelopes of assorted cemetery snapshots from America that I received in the post earlier this year. Oh that people would write some details on the reverse!

A souvenir photograph from the Arrow Photo Service - Box 104, Neverfade Photos, Minneapolis

Elderly grandparents at the grave of son or daughter, perhaps. Note the child. Is that a sailor suit of sorts

At the graveside. Relatives are pictured with the floral tributes

Only the words 'Daddy Monument' are written on the reverse of this photogaph. It is the grave of French Canadian Architect, Jule Joanisse (61) who died in 1932 and his mother Anastessie (91) who died in 1931. The cemetery is in Cochrane, Ontario

Bange? Not the most common of names. On the back is written: Lisle and Revilla, Barre, Vermont; C F Redding, Hanover, Penna: Mount Olivet Cemtery, Hanover, Penna

Leaning just a Little More!

Frome Christ Church churchyard also has an area of tottering memorials. It was quite challenging underfoot when I walked through to photograph the leaning grave architecture. It was only when I got to the other side that I noticed some warning notices!

Leaning just a Little!

In one part of Bath's Locksbrook Cemetery,  it is really confusing to find a large open area where the graves are either collapsing or the headstones are leaning at crazy angle. I have no idea why!
