A colour photograph in landscape format. It shows part of a stone floor in ancient Cartmel Priory, with an engraving of a skull and crossbones and underneath a glass timer with wings. The picture suggests that the deceased person has run out of time and their soul is flying to heaven. The deceased was Jane Atkinson who died in 1760 aged 73. RIP.

Memento Mori, 1760
A crisp stone in Cartmel Priory, #Cumbria. The skull and crossbones represented death, not piracy, and was a common symbol used a lot on gravestones at the time. RIP.
