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.

Wyndham (north) chapel #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #MemorialMonday Very fine chest tomb very badly photographed by Mouse

St Leonard’s - The Fairfax Lucy family Church next to Charlecote Park

This lovely little gravestone in Harvard Square is very old for Massachusetts. Very few gravestones were made here before 1675, and most of them are like this — mostly text with a few small embellishments. Sarah Hastings, died 1673, age 34

Little brass inlay. You really do have to keep your eyes peeled when you're #ChurchChomping #StDecumanWatchet #Somerset for #MemorialMonday

#mementomorimonday St George Newbold Pacey

John Cecil, 5th Earl of Exeter, and his wife Ann atop their imposing 1704 memorial in St Martin, Stamford. They're dressed as wealthy Romans, and indeed their memorial was made in Rome by the sculptor Monnot. Pevsner thought them 'comfortable and at ease'. 1/3 #MemorialsMonday #MonumentsMonday

Hofkirche in Innsbruck. Tomb of Maximilian, surrounded by larger than life-size statues. #MementoMori #Innsbruck #MaximilianI

The beautiful Bohun swans at the feet of Margaret, wife of Hugh de Courtenay, 2nd Earl of Devon (1303–1377), south transept, Exeter Cathedral. His feet rest on a lion. #MonumentsMonday #exetercathedral

Although this unknown lady of c.1400 at St John the Baptist, Barnack is now much damaged enough still remains to show how beautifully carved it was. Her headress and the plaited hair beneath it is shown in such stunning detail. #MonumentsMonday

Gravestone of Esther Corwin and her infant child, who both died in 1797, probably in childbirth. Located at Plains Cemetery in Franklin, Connecticut, and carved by the Manning family.

Now that's what I call news.

We remember them today. This is Y Ravine cemetery in Beaumont-Hamel. Only a third of the men buried here were identified, as many were not reclaimed from the Somme until long after the fighting had ceased. Heroes, every one of them.

Autumn at Wardsend. A short video taken after this morning's volunteer session.

I forgot to take a team photo at our volunteer session so here's a last minute half-team photo! Thanks everyone Tasks included continuing to clear the front bank, removing ivy from memorials and litter picking. We were very lucky with the weather. Wardsend always looks lovely in the Autumn sunshine.
