Rather extreme image processing to get the skeleton with its hourglass and scythe to show. The monument dates to 1626 but the painted inscription is no longer visible. St Andrew's, Norton, Suffolk. Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 lens.

This marvellous skull is from the monument in Chichester Cathedral to Margaret Miller (died 1701) wife of Sir John Miller and two of their children. Various other members of the family, including Sir John himself (died 1721) and his second wife Ann (died 1709) were later added to the inscription.

This is a detail of the effigy of Sir John Thornbury in All Saints church, Little Munden, Hertfordshire. He died in 1396 and is buried next to his wife. He is wearing a bastinet (a type of helmet) with chain mail.
