The pelican memorial
One more filtered image: the grave of Baroness Elizabeth de Munck, who died in 1841. The carving on the stone shows a pelican feeding her chicks with her own blood, a common heraldic device, and was probably commissioned by the Baroness's daughter, Maria, who was a well-known opera singer.
