#MonumentsMonday Monument to Ann Wylde (nee Harries) who died in childbirth, aged 16, in 1624. St Bartholomew’s church, Tong, Shropshire. That disembodied head! ?😱Should have saved it for Halloween.

Once, twice, thrice... for three children. Wonder if William and Mary were twins. (Bampton, Oxon) #MementoMoriMonday

Hearts and flowers, what more might you need. A lovely detail on the brass for Eleanor Goodowhyn d.1566 at St Mary's, Longworth. #MonumentsMonday

Sitting in the gated and locked North Chapel at St Swithun, Compton Beauchamp, Berks, is this lovely 1949 carving of the Holy Trinity by Ulrika Lloyd. My arms really aren't long enough, however, I hope that this photo gives a flavour of its magnificence.

The east window of St Deiniol’s, Worthenbury contains some stunning fragments of medieval stained glass — but where did this glass originally come from? 1/8 📷 All images of the glass at St Deiniol's, Worthenbury

A rather shy owl greeted us in Malmesbury, #Wiltshire the other week, but I'm sure they won't mind saying hello for #OwlishMonday...

Handholding tomb of Ralph Green d.1417 and his wife Katherine. Made of alabaster in 1419 in Chellaston, Derbys at a cost of £40. Somewhat bashed about and I think that her hand has been remodelled. A beautiful piece. Lowick St Peter, Northants.

For #Caturday, here's the very proud #tinylion on King Athelstan's empty tomb in Malmesbury Abbey, #Wiltshire. The king was buried in Malmesbury in 939, but his grave lost. This tomb dates from the late C14th, pos to promote Athelstan as a saint for pilgrimage - didn't happen.

A beautiful wooden carving inside Bourne Abbey Church (St Peter & St Paul). I’ve been unable to uncover any information but suspect it’s a fragment of a lost C15 screen #WoodOnWednesday #WoodenWednesday #WoodensDay #ChurchCrawling #Lincolnshire #LincsConnect #MedievalTwitter
