This gravestone had two flower-inspired spinners whizzing round in the wind. The slow shutter speed of 1/20 sec captured the movement. The stone is to four members of the Antony family, two of whom died quite young in their 30s. Welwyn cemetery, Herts.

A pale consumption (detail)

From the churchyard of St Leonard's, Flamstead.

"In memory of Elizabeth Burchmore, who departed this life 1st April in the year 1797. In the 33rd year of her age. A pale consumption gave the fatal blow, the stroke was certain but the effect was slow, with wasting pains death found me long oppres'd, Pitty'd my sighs and kindly gave me rest."

Tombstone to Thomas Humberstone in the churchyard of St Mary's, Knebworth. He died in 1704 aged 86, just four years before another Thomas Humberstone who died in 1708, aged 38. Perhaps Thomas was Thomas' father or grandfather?

Faircloth gravestone (1)

Gravestone of the wife of Nicholas Faircloth in the churchyard of St Withburga's, Holkam, Norfolk. This is the second tombstone in this graveyard to mention Nicholas Faircloth but as this one dates to 1728 and the other to 1759, I'm guessing he outlived his wife by 31 years.

Kris Lockyear has posted:

This tombstone is in the churchyard of St John the Devine, Elmswell, Suffolk next to the one for Matthew Marsh that I posted previously. The stone is leaning forward quite a bit and so is always in shadow, and clearly a good proportion of it is buried. The two forward facing skulls show beautifully. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try and work out who was commemorated.
