Locksbrook No.14a

Locksbrook No.14a
Edward Onslow Ford's angel on the de Clarke sarcophagus in Locksbrook cemetery, Lower Weston.
Cemeteries, particularly of the Victorian era, reveal much about the demography of the locality they served. In Locksbrook the relative wealth is striking compared to other Victorian cemeteries of less well-heeled communities.
Nikon D40 and AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 150mm (full frame equivalent 225mm). 400 ISO; f/5.6; 1/250th.

What a beauty! So delicately made, so expressive.

How old? Victorian, I guess. And to have survived...

Thank you, Steve. I think it dates from 1900. To be absolutely sure I would need a return visit. This cemetery was such a glorious discovery that i really didn't take it all in, nor focus my attention on the best pieces; if indeed it were even possible to rank them in order of importance and beauty. But this was the most amazing and exciting thing to find. The trees were also wonderful. More to follow.
