I love visiting #Churchyards even though I have no immediate plans for a long term stay. There's always so much information and enjoyment to be had only enhanced by the solemnity and respect a visit brings. Well worth reading about the project in the link kindly provided by Jack. 👇

Cremation in the Shropshire Churchyard The contemporary archaeology of cremation is a topic I’ve addressed across multiple blog-posts and academic publications (e.g. Williams and Williams 2019). I add to this work here by showing …

Bats often roost in ancient church buildings, where there are chances to crawl into roof spaces or use cracks & holes in old, mature trees that have grown undisturbed for years. #churchyards

An oak standing at the entrance to the parish church looks rather sinister now but in a few months will be gloriously green again.

Samuel’s headstone amongst the rubble of ‘brick beach’

Multiple finds. There are literally 1000s of items including household goods, remains of buildings, tiles and millions of bricks of course !

This is what I discovered using some of the information on the headstone...

2ème trouvaille du jour dans notre cimetière : la "tombe aztèque". J'ai mis un filtre sur la 3ème photo pour faire ressortir les détails.
#cimetières #churchyards

Promenade dans le cimetière (de toute beauté ! En fait c'est un parc assez étendu avec des arbres magnifiques). À chaque fois je fais de nouvelles trouvailles. Ne dirait-on pas la tombe d'Alice in Wonderland ? Sauf qu'elle s'appelait Marianne. Morte à 8 ans en 1931. #cimetières #churchyards
