What is recorded here
Bogged in grass and fallen wall-boulders, the small unmarked stones still stand inside the ruined church at Grange East. They mark children buried before records kept their names, leaving only shape and soil to remember them. The overgrowth does not hide the place; it completes the grief, holding what was lost close beneath living green.
Within the interior of the church (GA070-067002-), which is strewn with densely overgrown boulders - some likely to be collapsed material from the walls. According to local information, the small, unmarked, earthfast headstones visible mark children's burials. This monument was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.
