Medieval and other historical graffiti. Churches, Cathedrals, and the odd vernacular building. No, they aren't 'witch marks'. Not even if it is Halloween.

From Woodbridge to Iken (Icanho) where Botolph, the athlete of Christ, did battle with demons in the 7th century. He has a makeshift shrine where people leave prayers on top of an old electric organ

I'd forgotten about this little beauty. C11th century carved ivory plaque, originally discovered in North Elmham in Norfolk, and now in the lovely museum of archaeology and anthropology in Cambridge.
Well worth a visit.

It's the feast day of King Edward the Confessor, Richard II's patron saint.
It's also the 625th anniversary of the coronation of Henry IV, the cousin who deposed Richard and took his throne.

Coincidentally, I found this pair around the doorway of St John the Baptist, Tideswell, Derbyshire, the other day. Unusual shape. The church - The Cathedral of the Peak - is truly wonderful, but seemingly graffiti free, barring the alleged de Bower monument. Well worth a visit.

Glad I got to Bakewell's Weir Bridge before 8am. I've got 40,000 love-locks to record before the council remove them. It's gonna be a long day

We've had masses of visitors today, and a great dig atmosphere throughout - the volunteers from @WingstothePast and #OperationNightingale all seem to have really enjoyed it, which is great

This little chest has been sitting quietly in Haconby church in Lincolnshire since the mid-fourteenth century. It is an exquisite example of medieval carved workmanship decorated with traceried panels and dragons.
