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/

Photos of the misericords of St Mary The Virgin at Minster-in-Thanet

I was passing St Mary The Virgin at Minster-in-Thanet today when in noticed the church was open.

There is a full set of chancel stools there with good misericords, datable because of the name John Curteys on one of the stalls. He was rector there from 1410 to 1419.

As I guess they are having their 600^th anniversary around now I thought readers may possibly enjoy photos of them.  

 photos should expand if clicked on compulsively
