In the churchyard of St Mary's church, East Brent, is this stone figure, seeming to rise out of the grass. English Heritage describe it as: 'Recumbent figure of a merchant. Probably early C16. Dressed stone. Life-size effigy clad in a robe, the head resting on a woolpack, face mutilated.' Why is he out here, and not buried inside the church with all the other rich folk? Or has his effigy been moved outside for reasons unknown?

A nineteenth century gravestone disappears into the undergrowth at St Michael's church, Brent Knoll.

For those of you who don't know: I love #graveyards and #cemeteries and #churchyards, so naturally I visited one as evening fell in #Staunton. ๐ชฆ๐
They're wonderful places. I do spend hours in them on occasion.

Cemeteries are some of my favourite places in the world. Today, this random one found in the countryside was particularly beautiful, and gave us snow. ๐ Not a sound anywhere. Beautiful.

Today my husbear๐ฌ preaches at a church outside our neighborhood.
Which means I get to explore a new cemetery and add some lichen observations to iNaturalist! Okay, maybe also some plants and birds ... if I have to ...

There's a churchyard on my canal walk where I usually sit for a few moments to take in the peace and quiet. The other day I noticed this overgrown tomb and thought how beautifully nature has decorated it...x

A gentle exploration of the hills at the head of #lochawe. Let me introduce Glen Orchy Kirk, Ben Cruachan dam and the light and dark shadows chasing across the mountains today. It was beautiful and a little wintery. The alt text on the photos provides more info. To explore more in the area please do have a look at our free downloadable guidebook. #argyll #scottishhighlands #daysout #winterbreak #winteriscoming #churchyards #gothic #StarWarsAndor #starwars #filmlocations

Sad to say goodbye to one of our websites that we've been involved with for nine years.
The Eco Church South West team is still working together, but thought that information could more easily be provided through each Diocese.

I will never tire of scarlet waxcaps (hygrocybe coccinea) - second only to the parrot waxcaps in terms of my favourite hygrocybes? ๐
