The misericords in St Mary of Charity Faversham, skulls and some thoughts on graffiti.

I am not sure of the date of these misericords (pronounced miz airy chords, noted as if you mispronounce something it is because you read it and are therefore a booksellers friend, but you may wish to know) I think some probably date from around 1400 and others may be modern. I know the date of the Minster ones, see http://thanetonline.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/photos-of-misericords-of-st-mary-virgin.html   


















With graffiti I wonder how old it has to be – to be ok, long sermons?












Next some of the skulls of memento mori, a sobering but uncommon reminder on gravestones that one is – a long time dead.

Back to work tomorrow and I bought some decent books while in Faversham so keep an eye on http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
