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.
