Day 13 of #31DaysOfGraves: Skeleton. Here in New England, skeletons on 17th and 18th century gravestones abound. Going with the celebrated Joseph Tapping stone, d. 1678, in Boston’s King Chapel Burying Ground. Photo not mine, credit unknown.

"Many haws, many sloes, many cold toes!" Old country wisdom says that an abundance of hawthorn berries and sloes in autumn is a sure sign of a cold winter to come. Have you seen a plentiful crop of haws and sloes in the hedgerows near you? #WednesdayWisdom #nature #folklore

Day 16 of #31DaysOfGraves: Obelisk. Formerly in the now-demolished St. James’ Church, Hampstead Road, London, this Coade stone monument to Sir William Hillman, d. 1793, currently lives in the V&A in London. Couldn’t do anything about the handrail in the way!

100 years ago today, Oct. 17, 1925: Boston's Wang Theatre opened as the Metropolitan Theatre. It was built as a movie palace within a 14-story office building. Its 4-story Grand Lobby was modeled after the Palais Garnier in Paris. At 3,600 seats, it's the city's largest theater.

Mouse leave you with a little something for #RomanesqueRiday (thank you Rufus) from #StAndrewStogursey #Somerset This is an important and rather overlooked Norman Romanesque church. It has a large amount of Romanesque carving to the arch capitals. But how much has been replaced?

Day 18 of #31DaysOfGraves: Mistake. Some might say that the mistake on Josiah Fisk’s stone in Walton Cemetery, Pepperell, Massachusetts is one of the hazards of using a local, whose speech was (and still is) famous for dropping the “r”s. (De-pah-ted.)
