A Thought From The Bible


1 Corinthians 13 v.9 :-


"Love Will Last Forever"


(New Living Translation)

A Bible Verse To Remember.


"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for The Lord is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; He will never fail you nor forsake you."

Deuteronomy 31 v 8

(New Living Translation)

Quote - Bishop T.D. Jakes

"How can you say that God has me exactly where He wants me to be, when I have never felt this lonely, and I've never felt this sad, and I've never felt this depressed. And it is a shameful place, and it is a painful place, and it is a tearful place, and it is a breaking place. But I came to tell you that God's Strength is made perfect in weakness, and when this is all over, God is going to get some glory out of this..."

Eternal love

As I have just said, I have split this post in half, and here are four 18th Century stones, all taken in Poughill, that show some of the talents of the mason, and the love of the family.

Amazing carving isn't it? When a few of us visited Highgate cemetery a couple of years ago there were quite a few stories behind the symbols carved (but of course I can't remember any of them now!). Fascinating.

Yes, some of the pictures are obvious - but it would be good to know what they all mean - maybe they are also regional?

These carved stones are beautiful , and i liked the other pictures too. Very atmospheric. Thank you for sharing.

I hope you 're not in too much pain from your lower lip? Take care, Deborah.

Thanks - it is lovely that these carvings still exist for us to admire.

Thank you, Caroline. The lip is more annoying than anything - but there is no way I can play my clarinet!

Thanks Andy.

Yes, we are very lucky in Britain to have these beautiful places all around us - the art-work is certainly stunning.

Thanks - there are some stunning works of art once you start looking around.

They are beautiful - it's a shame that we don't get that sort of workmanship anymore for the headstones, the modern ones are so bland compared to these

It is so sad where both the skills, and the actual family history, no longer appear on our stones.

There are some stunning monuments around.
