This is a priceless (to me) image in my computer file folders:
This photograph was taken by my wife, Linda, as we toured England in the summer of 1993. This graveyard is in Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire, where we stayed in a 17th century manor house of the Richmond family. I have Richmond/Richman ancestry from Wiltshire - my great-grandfather was Thomas Richmond (1848-1917) who migrated to America in 1856 with his family. In 1993, I did not know if the Ashton Keynes Richmonds were in my ancestry, but I jumped at the chance to stay at a Richmond manor house and learn about the family and the area.
The tombs shown in the photograph are, as I recall, for Richmond family members who resided in Ashton Keynes. The tombs are weathered and lichen covered, and the inscriptions are, in general, impossible to read.
I enhanced and colorized a colored photograph with the MyHeritage photo tools.
This photograph is a part of my family history.
