These two images, of some 80 taken, give you an idea of the scope of the work we've been doing.
The Headstone for Cornelia, Charles' daughter, had been broken once, and badly repaired. It was laying on the ground and after some digging, we found the missing piece from a more recent break. The other image fascinated me. Edmund's wife, Jeanette, died in 1892, and her stone had been knocked off it's plinth, which was also knocked off it's base. It's difficult to understand how it lay on it's face, but knocked over backwards. The impression it left in the soil was more legible than the actual headstone.
