The quire of Whitby Abbey, Yorkshire, constructed from the 1220s onwards and now a rather romantic ruin. This Benedictine Abbey constructed on the site of an Anglo-Saxon monastery sits atop the headland in Whitby overlooking the sea.

The effigies of Sir John Cornwallis (1491-1544) and his wife Mary Sulyard. Cornwallis was steward of the household to the future Edward VI when he was Prince of Wales, hence the staff of office he holds. Brome, Suffolk.

This is all that’s left of Lincoln’s Eleanor cross in Lincoln Castle. It is the lower part of one of the figures of Eleanor of Castile. However, if they keep treating it like this it will end up damaged. A generator was shoved up against it and box wedged between the two.

The altar at Wold Newton church in the Lincolnshire Wolds is made from masonry excavated in the ruins of the Cistercian abbey at Louth Park - including two late 12th century capitals. There is a third one of these knocking around outside the church too.

A procession on bench ends at Trull in Somerset (1530s), scattered throughout the church. Note the servers are wearing very short surplices over their ordinary clothes - their breeches and hose showing beneath. The right-hand figures are singing man & a priest wearing a cope.

A very rare painted armorial memorial at Saxton in Yorkshire from the reign of Mary Tudor. This timber panel commemorates Anthony Hammond 'esquire' of Scarthingwell, who died in 1554 and lies 'under the stone' that is presumably below where the tablet was first set.
