Strong enough to snap necks and impossibly quick, the Weeping Angels descend upon prey in the blink of an eye, but possess one crippling weakness - they can only move when no one's looking. So long as you keep an eye on them, the Angels are as harmless as church cherubs.
Doctor Who has kept the origin of the Weeping Angels frustratingly mysterious thus far. The creepy stone villains have no confirmed home planet, and even The Doctor doesn't know how old they truly are. Doctor Who has only revealed that Weeping Angels hail from the very beginning of time, and exist across all dark corners of the universe.
Essentially, they can pop up anywhere, and in any given time period. The veiled history of the Weeping Angels has allowed for all manner of outlandish fan theories, and one of the most popular claims the creatures could be former Time Lords fallen from grace.
Their freedom would've wiped out all creation, but The Doctor and The Master team up to foil their corrupted kin. When Rassilon emerges from the Immortality Gate, however, he proclaims that two Time Lords opposed him, and must therefore stand in shame with their hands covering their faces " like the Weeping Angels of old.
Both races have mild telepathic powers and in some form seem to control time. Really, though, aside from Rassilon's line and those few bits of evidence there's not much reason to think the two are otherwise related. Full text.

The Time Lords could have easily and accidentally created the Angels who traveled far and wide throughout the cosmos and the temporal vortex to place themselves as timeless myths and legends, giving them the ability to exist outside of the time-locked event of the Time War -- but as Angels they lose all memory of being Time Lords. The time dependence of the Angels also plays into confirming the theory as Time Lords in their own right are beings more powerful than the concept of time itself, and if they were punished by holding still and hidden from the universe, they could easily decay into stone and lose their minds, thus incorporating a hunger for time energy.
While this was not confirmed, there are hints that indicate that she might be. When The Doctor first sees the punished Time Lords, one of them lowers her hands to look at him and The Doctor holds a look of regret towards her specifically.
Near the end of the episode when The Doctor is saying his goodbyes to all his old companions, he visits Donna Noble's wedding and is asked by Wilfred Mott who those punished Time Lords were. Without saying anything, The Doctor looks at Sylvia, Donna's mother and then at Donna, thus confirming that she was his mother or at the very least, a member of his family. Given her intense punishment, her being his mother makes more sense as someone had to take the blame for The Doctor activating The Moment that decimated Daleks and Time Lords alike.
