I worked it out along the way, but thank you for confirming.

Apologies though, too, I found the word in the modern use jarring when applied to people who were already suffering.

The picture is very poignant, thank you for sharing.

Day 14: Inside. #31DaysOfGraves

Something a bit different today. Here is a before and after of the 'inside' of our chapel, renovated in 2016.

On the left is the photo of the chapel before with bare stone walls and debris on the ground, including some old dirty furniture. To the right is the photo of the chapel after. The walls are an off white having been plastered, with a wooden skirting, the floor is carpet, and there are pictures hung on the wall. The old cross is also restored and put back on the wall.

It is, but has any of it been saved?

That sounds all shades of wrong, please explain.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 13 Inside

Upto not long a go some were not permitted to be buried INSIDE the parish cemetery, inside consecrated ground.

Unbaptised babies, non-Catholics, suicides were not allowed inside. Many were buried in Cillíní - small liminal spaces, bits of fields

#31DaysOfGraves Day 14 Inside: A Viking -age grave marker inside Govan Old Parish Church. It was fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries to reuse the stones, hence the initials and date added later. Free entry to the Govan Stones every day until the end of Oct. @govanstones.bsky.social

A rectangular, grey, stone slab supported against a wall. It bears faint traces of interlace and knotwork carving and what was once a cross. It has the initials WI and the date 1634 carved on it , neither of which form part of the original carving.

The coffin of Joseph Lister, surgeon and antiseptic pioneer. Also the record holder in fastest leg amputation at 30s. His coffin had fallen apart so they had to give him a new one.

A cemetery vault with niches for coffins. Up on the highest shelf is a wooden coffin with an old metal sign on the front, lit by a spotlight.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 14: Inside

Going back to the black glass-fronted Bannister grave from Day 8, I zoomed in to capture #Ladybirds resting inside the floral carvings of forget-me-nots and roses.

No greenfly on these roses, but they'd have found lots of red spider mites.
