Ford Park Cemetery • Plymouth 🪦 Two of my great-great-aunts are buried somewhere in this beautiful cemetery. It's surreal to think that my great-great-great-grandparents once walked this cemetery to bury their daughters. #History

A Ripper-esque murder that predates them by five years, in Liverpool, in the slums. A story of poverty and misery and lies and hideous violence. The story of Susannah, a forgotten woman. sophiemhistory.substack.com/p/her-bloke

Mother Shipton! Been enjoying piecing together the complex history of Mother Shipton's Cave, Knaresborough. All is not what it seems... Enjoyed a 1974 description of the cave as a "modest one-roomed bed sitter".

With a 15th-century rood loft hovering over rows of 18th-century box pews, the interior of St David’s, Llangeview in Monmouthshire offers a glimpse into the forms of worship from two bygone ages. 1/8

A time to live, a time to die A time to laugh, a time to cry A time to love, a time to leave A time to keep, a time to grieve A time to dance, a time to mourn  A time to praise, a time to scorn  A time to give, a time to take Time destroys whatever we make

A time to live, a time to die 

A time to laugh, a time to cry

A time to love, a time to leave 

A time to keep, a time to grieve

A time to dance, a time to mourn

 A time to praise,  a time to scorn

 A time to give, a time to take

Time destroys whatever we make

The desire to mark the family burial plot with a stone burnt strongly in Scotland from the 17th C onwards. Families with limited means would pool their resources to buy one, or resort to homemade stones such as this one. Equality in death if not in life.

Just imagine what this small gravestone would have looked like when complete. A skeleton holding a bag of bones. Did it hold a bone in its mouth ? Now try & imagine why this family chose this design to mark their grave. What are they saying to us here & is it about them or us ?

100 years ago, the Western Telegraph reported the existence of a five-legged heifer calf. We’ll have to take their word for it because the photograph is unfortunately very faded. #EYANature
