Graves 1

I paid a visit to Brading graveyard yesterday afternoon, to come across three small gravestones, in a ragged line, each decorated with what appeared to be a drooping lily motif, down to the tridentine pistil, visible if you click on it.

One supposed three children from one family, perhaps struck down in some epidemic or some accident. There were inscriptions, but they were too faint to be read, at least without taking some bother about it.

Not a motif that I ever recall seeing before. Perhaps a speciality of the town's monumental mason of the time: I certainly recall other fads and fashions in graveyards reflecting such.
