This is an effigy on the tomb of Christopher Wandisford who died in 1590, which is situated in the church of St. Michael in Kirklington, North Yorkshire. More of this church on my church blog.

The Postman Did It
Certainly, the evidence is present that suggests the postman called. Perhaps a local problem, but there seems to be an increasing number of elastic bands littering the local streets – discards from the local postman’s bundles of letters as they walk their rounds.

Home of the Mandarin
This gives an idea of the area in which the Mandarin featured in my previous post was located – it was with a small flock of ‘municipal Mallards’, at the point where the end of the visible path meets the river in this picture. It didn’t look much of a place to me, but bearing in mind its heritage, I guess this may be quite near to that of it’s natural habitat – rather than the open lakes we might normally see it on?

Mandarin
I can’t remember the last time I saw a Mandarin Duck, well I can now it was yesterday, but before that….. Completely unexpected, I was just walking beside a small river that runs through the town of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire and there it was. I couldn’t get very close as it kept wandering away from me, so this is the limit of reasonable resolution of my gear. As it happens there were two Dippers too – doing the chasing each other about thing that wild creatures do this time of year.

Pedal Organ
This old pedal organ had been placed in the north porch of St. Michael’s Kirklington, North Yorkshire – well used in a simpler age, no doubt.

Pillar
To be honest, I don’t believe this pillar is anything more than part of restoration work – it’s just not ‘right’.
