It is frankly insulting to refer to Nightingale and Gaskell as "female influencers", and the idea that "woman in the past" = tradwife even if you are *checks notes* a progressive figure and/or not a wife is ridiculous.

I'm not sure I could even achieve that! Mine are definitely the more rustic variant...

This is fabulous! I have immediately ordered one 😆

You might appreciate this one from St Peter Mancroft in Norwich. Not the best photo - it was very hard to fit it all in the image!

Hmm. I am currently reading a book about Accidental Deaths in Tudor England - I am beginning to think some of the more "Darwinian award" examples may have inspired these carvings...

Next to it is the grandson grown from one of the son's acorns as a precaution after the Son of Royal Oak got hit by lightning. At this point they could do with one of those nice elaborate family trees with gilt coats of arms.

Unfortunately, it was a bit of an impromptu visit so I didn't get photos of everything. The current suspended font cover is modern (well by medieval standards) but I seem to have cut it off in my photos - was too taken by the devils and angels! I will have to go back soon for a more leisurely visit

6) why is the work needed? Is there a public benefit? Does it solve a problem that means the building may fall out of use and into disrepair? Is it going to improve the condition or appearance of the historic building? Is it necessary to prevent future damage?

5) are the materials and design elements appropriate to the setting and the rest of the building? Once we get into aesthetics it can get a bit subjective but consideration may be given to whether it is "lightweight" and or to whether it uses materials and colours that are characteristic of the area.
