To create a special place for 'born sleeping' babies and babies left for dead on the beach or in the cemetery entrance - in an area of the old Folkestone Cemetery, where stillborn babies and found dead babies were buried during 1900's. In those days, without the understanding that mothers may need to see or hold their 'born sleeping' baby to allow them to properly grieve, these un-named babies would be quickly taken away, to reduce their mothers distress. There is no formal record of these babies and mothers were never told where their baby was laid to rest.
