I think you'll find that's my barrel!
Just some of the dozens of different characters on the Babington monument of c1538 at St Winifred's, Kingston on Soar.
A pun on the family name (a tun being a barrel) there is allegedly a hundred little people, I didn't count them..

It was great to hear Professor Hannah Cobb speaking about the 10th-century Ardnamurchan boat burial (discovered in 2011) on Radio 3’s Where the Light Sings. It was just before 11am if you want to find it on BBC Sounds. For more information about the boat burial, see www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

How can archaeology play a part in our natural environment?🌳 In next week's talk, Nick will explain how the past can power a wilder future: from ancient environments that guide today’s habitats, to wildlife at historic sites & stories that inspire new ways to care for our world
