In today's (Thursday 31 July) Guardian (the UK newspaper) is a 
photograph with a caption that says:

"Campaigner John Donald surveys the decaying family monument to Byron's 
daughter, Ada Augusta Lovelace, the 19th century mathematician and 20th 
century cyber heroine credited with a key role in developing computers. 
A project to restore the monument at Kirkby Mallory, in Leicestershire, 
has just won a [UKP]33,000 lottery grant."

Does anyone know anything about this monument? I haven't heard about it 
before.
