Recent visit to Leeds, tracked down the headstone for my great x7 grandparents, Marmaduke Rodgers (1683-1755) and Sarah (Scott) Rodgers (d 1735), at St Bartholomew's Armley. Impressed with the condition of the stone, it's 290 years old.
Shame that most of the churchyard has been cleared of headstones, several generations of my ancestors were buried here.

☠️ The silent scream! This stone skull that sits in the shade of 200-year-old beech trees; the grave itself is over 150 years old.

The skull’s mouth is grotesquely agape in a centuries-long silent scream, resting on a pillow of crossed femur bones. Bright green moss covers the gravestone, accentuating the hollow eye sockets and the tortured grimace of the macabre.
