Earlier, I tried to link to a picture of the Langley children's gravestone, but soon realized that I had never posted them. This was clearly an oversight — this is one of the most famous gravestones in Newport and an excellent example of John Bull's extraordinary carving skills.
Like the
Charles Bardin stone, the Langely children's gravestone shows that John Bull was a talented artist. I wonder what he might have done with European training.
The
Childs children's gravestone in Lexington is striking, but the Langley children's stone is a masterpiece.

We were recently in the Newport cemetery with friends,looking for their ancestors, and came upon this stone. It is really something to see up close, so well executed, a real work of art!
