'Rock of Angels' tribute being moved out of Newtown

A tribute to the 26 children and educators killed on 12-14 is being moved out of Newtown. 

 

Rock of Angels was donated in 2013 and has been located behind St John’s Episcopal Church, but the church has closed and the property is being sold.  The Newtown Bee reports that the the several-ton granite memorial is headed for Shepard Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center horse farm in Bristol, located on diocesan property. 

 

None of the 26 families were consulted on the design of the Rock of Angels, created by Florida resident Richard Gray with the help of craftsmen in Maine.  They are involved with the Permanent Memorial Commission. 

 

The Board of Selectmen affirmed at a meeting this year that they are committed to having one memorial, approved through the commission.
