Angel - Welford Road
Here is one of many Angels in the Welford Road Cemetery in Leicester, England. It is to date my favourite cemetery that I have visited, with Church Cemetery in Nottingham a very close second. I really must return to explore it further. I have no date for this particular monument, as that was not something I routinely recorded back then.
Welford Road Cemetery opened in 1849 and is the oldest and largest municipal cemetery in Leicester. There are over 35,000 graves, 10,000 headstones and it is Grade II listed. There is a fantastic range of styles and materials that really show off the style and splendor of Victorian designs in contrast to later styles.
