Armstrong tomb Wysall
« on: Monday 11 April 11 14:54 BST (UK) »
Hello All,
I've seen a lot of photos of Hugh Armstrong's tomb at Wysall church, but only ever seen views from below eye level, corner on. The tomb shows alabaster likenesses of Hugh & his wife laying side-by-side.  Does anyone know of a photograph taken looking down (plan view) onto the faces of Hugh & his wife?
Cheers,
Bob

Just been told about the 'Picture the Past' website which has Wysall, Notts photos, including the tomb, in its collection.
