This intriguing pillar with a carving of a hedgehog (? - or could it be a porcupine) has turned up in a Herefordshire graveyard. It's very slightly coffin shaped but not really wide enough. Has anyone seen anything similar, anywhere? Thoughts??

THREAD. So much rain has the fields floating in water. Not quite the conditions yet of 2021 - the images in this thread - but, in the east of England, still a practical lesson explaining so much about land use before under-field drainage began in the 17thC.

This is a beautiful concept. Would love to see this embedded into Scottish nature recovery projects. 💚
