Squeezed between the tombs of the Willoughby chapel and the organ at St Mary the Virgin and All Saints, Willoughby-on-the-Wolds is this lone row of medieval tiles. Only one remains of each design, a hint of how rich the decoration of the church might have been. #TilesOnTuesday

Brass commemorating an unknown 16th century lady in St Mary Magdalen’s. Launceston. Inscription says she was 65, had 15 children and lived in the town for only 3 years. Lovely costume details. #churchmonuments #brass #tudor

There’s something very satisfying about newly turned soil! I’m slowly catching up with digging up at the allotment . I need more cardboard to stop the weeds growing! #allotment #gardening

The servant in this 19th century window at St Mary Magdalene, Launceston caught my eye. He’s carrying what looks like a swan. Roasted swan was served for royalty and the nobility in medieval and Tudor by times. #StainedGlassSunday

I enjoyed making an orange pomander yesterday at our Museum get together. Cardinal Wolsey is said to have carried a fresh orange, hollowed out and filled with vinegar and spices, to repel bad smells in Westminster Hall. #Christmas2025

The shape of the carved font cover echoes the 🌲 at St. Mary Magdalene, Launceston A Norman font bowl forms the base for a font and cover installed in 1914. #FontsonFriday #ChristmasTree

What a great view of the church! The garden gate was closed last time I visited …
A #GlimpseOfStGeorgeDunster through the rather lovely low #Ogee arch entrance to the 'Dream Garden'. This view is certainly "such stuff as dreams are made of..." #StGeorgeDunster #Somerset for #DoorwayThursday

The twelfth-century Norman doorway of the White Hart Hotel in Launceston, may have come from the Priory of St. Thomas but Historic England says more likely it came from Launceston Castle. #AdoorableThursday #norman

It's time to take in the sheer scale and majesty of the C15 screen of #StGeorgeDunster #Somerset This is a wonderful and intricate piece of work and apart from the loss of a probable rood group largely intact. A great survivor #Woodensday

The detail of the late 19th century carvings of animals, fish and foliage on bench ends and choir stalls in St Mary Magdalene, Launceston is exceptional. Here’s a crocodile! #woodcarvingwednesday
