The first Sunday in July - a roundel from Lincoln cathedral, dating to the 1400s. A father and son harvesting crops - the son does not look happy about it! #StainedGlassSunday and #sundayyellow.

The Jerusalem cross appears on this silver coin of the Kingdom of Cyprus that was minted sometime between 1324 & 1359 during the reign of King Hugh IV, nephew of the last king of Jerusalem. The kings of Cyprus continued to claim the Kingdom of Jerusalem after it fell in 1291.

#mementomorimonday The crowning glory of a memorial in the church of St James the Great, Kimbolton, to a chap with an unfortunate name who died in 1766. Bet he got teased at school🤭

John Wharton died 1656. Monument by Joshua Marshall in Leicester Cathedral. #mementomoriMonday

The remains of the medieval church of Newton North in Pembrokeshire. Despite C12th charter references, the church’s dedication is unknown. The remains are now located in a holiday park. #MedievalMonday #Medieval #Pembrokeshire

A beautiful wooden carving inside Bourne Abbey Church (St Peter & St Paul). I’ve been unable to uncover any information but suspect it’s a fragment of a lost C15 screen #WoodOnWednesday #WoodenWednesday #WoodensDay #ChurchCrawling #Lincolnshire #LincsConnect #MedievalTwitter

'Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour' Romans 12: 9-11

Doorway to St Nicholas of Myra, Ozleworth, Gloucestershire. The skies around this little church in its ancient circular churchyard were full of house martins and swifts on a hot July day. ⁦Churches Conservation Trust⁩ #AdoorableThursday

I am 75 today and have been totally spoilt with presents, cards, calls and messages. Thank you all.

Sally Badham Happy Birthday 🥳

For #Caturday, here's the very proud #tinylion on King Athelstan's empty tomb in Malmesbury Abbey, #Wiltshire. The king was buried in Malmesbury in 939, but his grave lost. This tomb dates from the late C14th, pos to promote Athelstan as a saint for pilgrimage - didn't happen.

A medley of tomb slab/cover bits at Nassington, Northants.

Tragic inscription at Llaneugrad church, Anglesey. The design predates the Arts and Crafts period.

The fabulous collection of #AngloSaxon interlace carving mid-C10 using Ancaster stone inside the north aisle of St Andrew’s Church, Cranwell #ChurchCrawling #Lincolnshire #LincsConnect #Saxon #SaxonSunday #MedievalTwitter

Handholding tomb of Ralph Green d.1417 and his wife Katherine. Made of alabaster in 1419 in Chellaston, Derbys at a cost of £40. Somewhat bashed about and I think that her hand has been remodelled. A beautiful piece. Lowick St Peter, Northants.

📷 🐖 I finally got around to photographing the 'other,' slightly less defined, side of the Viking-Age 'Govan 2' hogback! 📍 Govan Old churchyard, The Govan Stones 🛡👑

A rather shy owl greeted us in Malmesbury, #Wiltshire the other week, but I'm sure they won't mind saying hello for #OwlishMonday...

The east window of St Deiniol’s, Worthenbury contains some stunning fragments of medieval stained glass — but where did this glass originally come from? 1/8 📷 All images of the glass at St Deiniol's, Worthenbury
