12th century stained glass still in the window they were fitted in originally, but reset in the 19th century. The earth coloured glass is typical of the period. #churchcrawling

Julius Caesar died in 1636 and asked to be buried in St Helen's, Bishopsgate, London. The top of his monument featues a carved marble replica of a deed poll, complete with folds in the parchment and a seal attached, "couched in proper legal terms, signifying that he willingly paid the debt of nature."

A blowy and autumnal visit to Dunterton Church just over the border in Devon.
It might seem odd to see it all by itself in a field, but there was once a village to its east.

Churchcrawling: I'm still missing Rome :( Not least the beautiful light in the Jesu, the HQ of the Society of Jesus - a.k.a. the Jesuits.

Last in this series from the pulpit at St Peter's, Worfield, #Shropshire: a carving featuring a hammer, tongs and iron nails. Perhaps these were sponsored by the local smithy? Maybe there's #folklore behind it? Perhaps this is a smithy's alpha, omega and holy spirit?

A similarly interesting wooden carved panel image from the pulpit at St Peter's, Worfield, #Shropshire featuring a ladder with a wreath hanging from the top and possibly a lily or daffodil and a tulip.
