Anyone interested in #HistoricGraffiti like Mouse could spend hours studying this densely covered surface. There are instances of very familiar graffiti. It dates from the Commonwealth onwards. Roundheads (tut)
South door #StMaryQuantoxHead #Somerset for #GraffitiTuesday
Overlapped by the door jamb, two overlapping Vs. Some will tell you it's a Marian Mark. Some will tell you it's a stylized W. Mouse tell you it pre-dates the door (happy to explain all three) #HistoricGraffiti
More #HistoricGraffiti from #StAndrewLoxton #Somerset. The classic W initial carved as two overlapping Vs, forever mistaken for Marian marks by overzealous and over optimistic apotropaic mark hunters. There baint be witches or evil spirits at work here #MouseJustStaringAtWalls #GraffitiTuesday
Mouse always on the lookout for #HistoricGraffiti and other glyphs but has drawn a big blank on her scamper down the river Axe in Somerset unlike her Wiltshire scampers. But #StAndrewLoxton #Somerset has come up trumps for her #GraffitiTuesday #MouseJustStaringAtWalls
