Recumbent knight (detail) from south #ThomasRodney (3/4) #StLeonardRodneyStoke #Somerset #MemorialMonday

His head resting on his helm which is ornately decorated. The scalloped carving on the armour is very good

What Mouse going to think of as 'cusp angels' from now on. They look quite snooty to Mouse. They probably wouldn't give you the time of day never mind an eternity
