Crypt Hythe Church AL0196_007_02

St Leonard'??s Church, Hythe, Kent. This image shows the ossuary, or bone store, in the vaulted ambulatory beneath the chancel of St Leonard'??s Church. The space had been used to store skulls and other bones disturbed during building work or when new graves were dug. Some 10, 000 bones, including around 2, 000 skulls, dating from the medieval period were arranged on shelves or stacked in piles. The ossuary had long attracted visitors, and the photograph shows advertisements for guides written by the vicar, and a table with what appears to be a visitors'?? book and a donations box.

Magi EMM01/01/029

St Tysilio's Church, Sellack, Herefordshire. Watercolour, by Elsie Matley Moore, of a stained glass window in St Tysilio's Church, depicting one of the Magi. The index card to this artwork reads: 'One of the Magi in a window made up in 1630 by Richard Scudamore. Other parts of the window contain 15th and 16th century glass. This and the other late panels are interesting as some of the few 17th century examples of church glass. It is obvious how decadent the art had become.' 3rd January 1942
