Memento Mori

Posted in Photos, Weird and Wonderful October 2nd, 2009

I’ve spent the last week on a family trip to Rock, near Padstow in Cornwall. We spent one day driving round the North of Devon to look for the graves of my mum’s ancestor’s so she could add them to her family tree. These gravestones in the village of Lamerton certainly caught my eye, the stones are dated from the 1700’s but they look like they might have been carved yesterday. I think I’m going to conduct a little investigation into what the different symbols around each skull mean.
