... nor does it have any regard for the piety of your church.

St. Enodoc, Cornwall. It has been slowly sinking in the sand for years. It's where Sir John Betjeman is buried, resting in timeless tranquility.

Another monochrome offering, two headstones in the local Churchyard. No name long since worn away by the weather, but 18th century maybe early 19th by design. #monochrome #headstones #gravestones #churchyard #Charlbury #Cotswold #stone #photography

Either there's a missing comma, or Gedney Drove End has strictly average groundspeople.

In a peaceful churchyard in Pinner stands a monument that looks…unusual

A stone coffin, suspended mid-air, jutting from a tall triangular tomb. Over time it’s gathered myths, ghost stories, and speculation — but there is a real explanation.

FINALLY! Snowdrops are out here! Spring will hopefully be here soon. I took these photos while passing a beautiful churchyard on my walk home from town this morning.

A single pink rose in full bloom, its delicate petals unfurling with grace.

there's a river
runs beside me
in the winter
cold as hell

past a churchyard
sings my heartbeat
where your teardrops
never fell, never fell

time brings the #ghost
love promised
dreams are all I have
to know you again.

Sir, if John Virgo is being buried in the top left corner of the churchyard, why are you loading the coffin onto a gurney in the opposite corner, and why is your colleague measuring the space between the cenotaphs?

Never noticed the churchyard being used as a sunbathing spot like that, though. Though that part may have fallen into the sea...

And still, some day they will die, like every one of us, and no money can save them. A piece of rotting flesh in a morgue, some ashes soon forgotten in a churchyard...

Remembering former CFC reserve player George Rudd who passed away OTD 1957.

George is buried in All Saints Churchyard, Gilmorton.

Recent Ringing
The bells at Wilbarston were rung for Candlemass on Sunday. The congratulated local ringer Rosalind Willatts on her BEM, awarded for services to the community. It was Hannah's first quarter inside.

It feels like a slow start to my
2026 #LadybirdYearList! 🐞

2️⃣ Heather Ladybird (Chilocorus bipustulatus) in a nearby churchyard.

It was in such an awkward place for a photo on the underside of a gravestone - but well protected from the seemingly incessant rain. Good job! ☔️

Fury after 'gran's grave dug up in targeted attack' as cops swarm churchyard
Fury after 'gran's grave dug up in targeted attack' as cops swarm churchyard
POLICE have swarmed a churchyard in a quiet village after a grave was dug up in a “targeted” attack. The All Saints Church in Laughton-en-le-Morthen, South Yorkshire, has been cordoned …

Nail. Head. 👍

I rather like the idea of it being the 'Churchyard Finch'. 😉

Typo in the Morse, as if anyone noticed! haha.

"Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear"

I always say 'unfathom'd depths' for some reason.
Love Thomas Gray's 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard'
Yes, it's a bit patronising, but it's a beautiful poem.

Good day Susan, although it is far from being good here in Surrey in the south of England. I took a trip across the county border to Westerham in Kent and the weather was just as wet there. Nice view from the churchyard, though. I need a warming #BlueBrew if you could manage it. Ta.

..came to mean a churchyard next to a church (link is to a church and haw lost in Great Fire of London).

Now, NOT claiming bird didn't get name from eating the odd haw in a hedge.. but how often are birder hotspots in churchyards?😉

(Jeez this rain really needs to stop so I can get out more 😆)

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me."
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, ~ Thomas Gray

HAW [hau] sb. A small yard or inclosure. Chaucer has it for a churchyard.
