Carved and trapped in stone

This carved face seems to me to be trapped in the very stone from which it emerges. The closed eyes and the strands of now dried-up vegetation make the image even the more intriguing.


Fradswell Church, which is where this memorial is sited, is a strange one, being very isolated and quite remote from the village itself.
