Oak leaf
Here is the oak leaf detail from the 1880 grave of John Angrave. He dies aged 75, and his wife Frances joined him in 1892 having died aged 84. Great ages for the time!
The Oak leaf carved into this slate headstone is symbolic of longevity, quite a fitting symbol in this case. Oak leaves can also be symbolic of strength, nobility and stability.
This grave was found in the churchyard of Saint Mary's in East Leake, Nottinghamshire, England.
