Favourite monument of the day was of Christopher and Anne Wray in Glentworth church. He was lord chief justice. Love Anne’s fabulous outfit. Such detail

Adam and Eve wearing rather fetching grass/fur sarongs at St Peter's, Church Langton.
The addition of the grave digging tools and scythe with an oversized skull top left is rather fun, almost an afterthought.

A “Stirling Head” - some of the best surviving Scottish C16 wood-carvings. They are brilliant! 56 heads with images of kings, queens, courtiers, Romans &others decorated a ceiling in Stirling Castle, but it collapsed. 38 survive, most displayed in the Castle. #archaeology 📸 own

Hoy 18 de mayo se celebra el Día Internacional de los Museos, y de los muchos que tenemos en nuestro país, vamos a detenernos en el Museo de Navarra; concretamente en el capitel de Job procedente del desaparecido claustro románico de la catedral de Pamplona. Puro dinamismo

Three churches, three fonts, three centuries between them. Three opportunities to admire the craft of the medieval mason (contented sigh). #StAndrewDurnford #StMaryAndStMelorAmesbury #AllSaintsEnford #FontsOnFriday #TheHistoryMouseTopThree #AvonScamper2024

Foundation of the abbey in 1138, but despite the Dissolution of the 16th century, the building has retained its intactness.
Bourne Abbey, Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, #Lincolnshire

There's a plethora of strange creatures at Lichfield Cathedral, every combination you could think of!

Taking the slow (and not always direct) road to Shropshire, we found ourselves near Patricio (alt sp. Partrishow) and the church and shrine of St. Issui. The church retains its early C16 rood screen, intricately carved in oak. #ScreenSaturday
