With love all round. Remembering them isn't in a location, it's in all the things we have and can do now that we didn't have and couldn't do then. Pain, loss and forgiveness which we should not take for granted. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

#AdventAngels in Sherborne Abbey, Dorset. I loved the experience of visiting this charming little town; somehow more manageable than being overwhelmed in a cathedral city! This window by Powell & Sons, to mark 50th anniversary of founding of Sherborne School for Girls in 1899. Dedicated 1951.

Calling any Skipton based followers here! As we work through the archive of architect George Pace, we've come across a whole stack of rather lovely ink sketches of all the buildings on Skipton High Street made as part of a 'street improvement plan' in the early 1960s.

A cluster of #ladybirds on a gravestone. I visited 3 different churchyards on the same day and found this in all of them. I wonder why? #insects #churchyards #cemeteryphotography

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed #kindness & #community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt #WorldKindnessDay

Two grand-uncles served in #WW1. A low number for 3 others had emigrated, another 4 were in farming in #Orkney, a reserved occupation, and 1 a docker in Glasgow, another reserved occupation. Of those who served Victor Sclater did not return. 1/2 janealogy.co.uk/blog/somme-1...

Martock is a really interesting place - and the church especially so), we touch on some of that interest in our Somerset volume 4 (available @bho.bsky.social). The vault and chest tomb reflect a period of concentrated prosperity for the village/townlet very obvious in its streetscape. [cont.]

Good day all. The last of the marigolds looks vibrant against the weathered grey kerbstone.

The Knaresborough War Memorial, N. Yorks which dates from June 1921 is situated high up by the castle overlooks the River Nidd. It has the names of 156 names from WW1 & 55 from WW2. #remembranceday

#31DaysOfGraves Day 24: unique animal Tom, the Church Cat - St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol

#31DaysofGraves Day 30 - Colour Reedsville Cemetery in North Hatley, Quebec in winter, summer and fall. I have many relatives and ancestors buried here, some I knew in life, most who lived before I was born. My grandmother was born on a farm here that my cousins still own and operate. 🐄🍁

I forgot this one the other day. #31DaysofGraves - Tree

#31daysofgraves 31: Memento Mori - not exactly Memento Mori but I wanted to include this one, in plot 3-219, #Macclesfield Cemetery. Brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. Transcription in alt text. Unusually, no dates of death are given but Ida died in 1993 and Albert in 1996.

Day 30 of #31DaysOfGraves - Colour A wide array of varied species of lichen and mosses provide most of the colour that visitors see when wandering around historic Scottish graveyards...

#31DaysofGraves Day 27: Tree - the stump of a tree which fell or had to be cut down in #Macclesfield Cemetery carved into a lovely wren scupture, photo taken in 2018 when it was fairly new (you may have to click on the image to see the wren?)

Day 31 of #31daysofgraves - momento mori. The slate headstone marking the grave of Vincent Fletcher who died in 1794 aged 92. There’s an urn engraved at the top with ‘momento mori’ inscribed on it. What stories he must have had, having almost lived through the whole 18th century!

#31DaysOfGraves Day 31: Memento Mori Margery de la Downes (Paunton) (d. 1598) of Paunton Court. St Mary the Virgin, Bishop's Frome.

Momento Mori: final day for #31daysofgraves. A new stone went in beside Mom's, with the last person to be interred there having my birthday. If nothing else, cemetery rambles are its own momento mori; we will all be carried off, one day, so enjoy the here and now. Union Burying Ground, Burlington.
