The three children of Henry Sacheverell d1625 are shown in beautiful detail on the base of his monument at Holy Trinity, Ratcliffe-on-Soar. Sadly a son and daughter died young and are shown swaddled, the other daughter survived, married well but he disapproved and cut her off! #MonumentsMonday

1/ 8th-9th century relief panel from an altar, decorated with crosses, discs, foliage and (can you find them?) Alpha and Omega (Α/ω). The two halves are not quite mirror images of each other: small and not-so-small variations keep it interesting and are fun to find. #StoneworkSunday #SundayStonework
Wide, T-shaped piece of marble with low relief decorative carvings. It is divided into segments by a large cross whose arms are decorated with interlace.

The 6th century Caldey Stone at St Illtyd's Church on Caldey Island in Pembrokeshire. The stone is inscribed in Ogham in memory of Maglia Dubracunas, with a later 9th century Latin inscription seeking prayers for the soul of Catuocunus. 📸 My own. #EpigraphyTuesday #CaldeyStone
