A Belvoir angel

I recently read about these angel headstones which date from the late 17th Century through to the mid 18th. They are mainly found in churchyards belonging to a few villages in the Vale of Belvoir but there are a couple in Grantham. The angels are carved in a distinctive, naive style and the lettering tends to be poorly spaced but beautifully carved and all on slate
