An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

In the United Kingdom a grave usually has a headstone. However if the person was a felon (particularly a murderer) then the grave may be marked with a footstone to denote that the decedent was a felon/murderer. Examples of this practice are found at the Lucy Keep of Lincoln Castle, Lincolnshire, England. Although there are many felons' graves with footstones at Lucy Keep, the names of some are unknown; during World War II, soldiers had to use cemetery records as kindling.[citation needed]
