In Christchurch Cathedral, Waterford, Ireland - the cadaver tomb of James Rice (died c.1488), 11 times Mayor of Waterford 💀
The Latin inscription reads "Whoever you may be, passerby, Stop, weep as you read. I am what you are going to be, and I was what you are"

#31DaysofGraves Day 27: Tree
The Hardy Tree in London's Old St Pancras Churchyard named for novelist Thomas Hardy (1840-1928).
As a young man working for an architect, Hardy stacked gravestones around an ash tree when railway work required clearing of the graveyard.
The tree fell in December 2022 🌳
