Link; Belvoir Angel gravestones
« on: Wednesday 03 March 21 20:44 GMT (UK) »
Not many people will have one of these stones in their ancestry as they are only found in and around the Vale of Belvoir, details in the link mention a survey in the 1970's by George Heathcote who sadly passed away in December last year. A group of enthusiasts with a facebook group have found around 20 more examples of "BA's" as they are affectionately known taking the total to around 340.

I'm fortunate to have not one but two examples in my tree (possibly dibs on a third but I'm greedy that way  ;D), one example is a double angel although it bears the scars of almost 300 years of exposure to the elements.

Enough of the chat, here's the link
