#MementoMoriMonday St Peter dangles the keys to heaven at Friar’s Bush Graveyard, one of Belfast’s oldest and most atmospheric burial grounds. If you're in #Belfast it's well worth a visit. Tours every Friday.

#FontsonFriday Bullaun stone used as a stoup at St Patrick's Catholic Church outside Portaferry, County Down. Tradition holds it comes from the nearby ecclesiastical site of Ballytrustan. #ExploreChurches

#SteepleSaturday Church Island, Lough Beg a bishop's folly added to the medieval church. The spire is immortalised in the poetry of Seamus Heaney.

#MementoMoriMonday Took shelter from the rain at Laraghbryan Church, Maynooth and glad I did. Otherwise, I’d have missed this reused millstone, quietly serving as a gravemarker. Historic Graves

#FontsOnFriday St. Gobhan's Church, Co. Armagh. The current church stands opposite the ruins of a 17th-century building. The font was relocated from the original ruined church.
