<p>Three historic headstones amongst the snowdrops inside the churchyard at All Saints Church (or Church of All Saints)  which is located within the confines of the private Braxted Park Estate and its very long perimeter wall near the villages of Great and Little Braxted in the County of Essex (UK).<br />
<br />
Note the similar style of the headstones on this most likely family plot. Using my headstone eye, I suspect these date back to the early 19th century. <br />
