'Look, look, a mouse!'
- King Lear (IV, 6)

The carved and gilded oak candlesticks beside the Abbey's nave altar were designed by Sir Charles Peers and made by Robert Thompson - whose traditional mouse emblem can be seen carved at the base.

'Valiant as a lion'
- Henry IV, Part I (III, 1)

The ancient Coronation Chair has been used at the coronation of every monarch since that of Henry IV in the Abbey in 1399. At its foot are four gilt lions - symbols of royalty, courage and valour.

Moved a grow bag and spotted these two. Didn't even realize until I was editing photos that the little guy in the bottom left corner was NOT a large worm 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 #mybackyard #creaturesgreatandsmall #formercitygirl #snake #insects #willitsca #pnw #norcal #california
Top down view of wet, root bound soil, where a grow bag had been sitting for many months. At top right, we see a potato bug, or Jerusalem Cricket, in a shallow hole in the dirt. At bottom left, we see a small snake, still partially covered by some dirt. At top left, there is some partly decayed leaf litter.
