Cemetery Angels

Cemetery angels are a thing of beauty. On Friday, I visited the Victorian cemetery at Locksbrook in Bath and the famouse Arnos Vale cemetery in Bristol today. Although the more detailed stories arising from my visits are being published on my other blog - The Graveyard Detective - I thought I would share two images of Angels with you here.

Angel consumed by tree

This angel at Arnos Vale has been smothered by a tree which entangled her. Although partially cleared, she is still in the tree's tight embrace and looks to be reaching out for succour!

A Fallen Angel

Lying in the undergrowth at Locksbrook is this angel who has fallen from the grave. The summer growth of thorns and weeds is starting to envelope her - poor thing!
