“The ‘Little Angels’ memorial plot in the grounds of Bessborough House. The items were previously tied to the railings outside the House during the weekend. The memorial plot lies within a graveyard that the Sacred Heart Nuns, who bought the House in 1922, used to bury their Sisters’. The Centre is still officially owned by the Sacred Heart Nuns though they have apparently no involvement in the running of the services.”
