Alabaster relief plaques, 1800s, British

Description

2 plaques, one featuring The Trial of Mary Queen of Scots, the Other Queen Elizabeth Smiting Essex, Numbers 124 and 125 from a set of I don't know how many.  Purchased by my parents in Yorkshire England in the early 1970s.   Both have a carved black frame.  One has a crack through the middle which disappears when it is hanging--I believe it has always had this, as there is a very old repair made to the frame to make the relief fit into it tighter.    I believe they were carved sometime in the 19th century, but I'm not sure about details.

 

Curious as to value as I'm interested in selling them.
