The heaviest object on display in The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries is this limestone sarcophagus, which was dug up on the Abbey's north green in 1869. It was used for two burials - a Roman one in about AD 300-400, and a Saxon one in about AD 900-1000. #Museum30 #Heavy

Great excitement when we spotted drawings of some lost tombs on the Sackville pedigree rolls in a 'Treasures of the National Trust' programme. churchmonumentssociety.org/2025/11/14/m...

slightly obsessed about the end of this lady's effigy tomb with the voluminous folds of her dress and petite heeled shoes

Cemeteries are such important green spaces. I love the way the trees and the gravestones both contribute

Wardsend was the cemetery for St. Philip's Church from the 21st June 1857. St Philip's used to stand at the junction of Infirmary Rd and Penistone Rd near the Globe Works. The church and the Globe Works (bottom right in the second photo) can be seen in this 1939 aerial photo from Britain from Above.

James T. Manning was a police officer who lived on John St. He died of TB two months short of his 29th birthday, on Nov 13, 1891. His prominent and sizeable stone in Holy Cross was paid for by friends mourning his early death. Holy Cross

Two brothers killed on the same day, for this month of remembrance. Robert and Charles Pitcher of the 5th Norfolks both died on 19 April 1917 at the 2nd Battle of Gaza. Their memorial is in Shernborne church, Norfolk. 1/3

This Maintenance Week we thought we’d highlight the reality of maintaining historic churches. Although thought to be a less glamorous aspect of our work, maintenance requires great skills and expertise.

England's churches contain one of our greatest national collections of art - extraordinary beauty, freely accessible near you! But these precious objects sometimes need repair. If you know an object in a church in need of some TLC, we have grants available! www.churchofengland.org/resources/ch...

So pleased to be reminded of the nurses #WW1 memorial in Liverpool Cathedral #histnursing #lestweforget #armisticeday www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/it...

At eight metres high, probably the tallest monument in a parish church in England. Thomas Foley, 1st Lord Foley (d.1732/3) and his family are depicted on the monument by John Michael Rysbrack, made in 1735-8. Great Witley, Worcestershire.

One of the prettiest late medieval monuments IMO: Robert Sherborne (d. 1536), at Chichester Cathedral. Got the post of Bishop of St Davids (1505-8) by forging a papal bull to promote himself. Cheeky.

This open day is part of the ETZ Community & Coast programme, in partnership with Cameron Archaeology and ANESFHS. It’s a great chance to explore this historic site and meet others with a shared curiosity about Aberdeen’s past.

The chantry chapel and cadaver effigy of Bishop Richard Fox (d.1528), successively Bishop of Exeter, Bath and Wells, Durham, and Winchester. Founder of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. His feet rest on a skull and his crosier (missing the head) is to his left. Winchester Cathedral.

Skull from an ossuary with wreath decoration, 1842 by Alpine School, Hallstatt Beinhaus ("bone house", ossuary), a Roman Catholic chapel in Hallstatt, Salzkammergut, Austria

Today in 1869 William Lawrence died. He has one of the most remarkable service records I have ever come across. #ArmisticeDay

North chapel #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #MemorialMonday The problem with family chapels is they just keep filling up and some people have no sense of proportion. Various memorials to the Wyndham family. Whatever the origin of the name, Mouse still thinks windy village

Wyndham (north) chapel #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #MemorialMonday With everything so squished in it's hard to do these memorials full justice, particularly as Mouse seem to have clumsy paws today

Holding hands for all time. Romance is not dead even if we are. (Winterbourne Bassett) C13 tomb of possibly Hugh Despenser and Aline Basset.
