Fifty photographs to celebrate 50 years of membership of the Welwyn Archaeological Society.
I started playing the tuba when I went to senior school in 1976. Here I am playing with the City of Southampton (Albion) Band in Germany. This was an impromptu concert in the local bar one evening hence the lack of uniforms. I swapped tubas with my friend NIck so I am playing his BBb bass and he is playing my EEb.

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.

Gargoyle. Image oposted for 31DaysOfGraves day 24 unique animal on BlueSky.
This is the elaborate tomb of Charles Spencer Ricketts in Kensall Green cemetery, London. Opinion is divided on the tomb, Pevsner hated it. It's very OTT.

This image was taken in 2010 on one of my last ever rolls of Kodachrome 64. It was in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Essendon, Hertfordshire. The first roll of film I shot on my first SLR was K64 in 1982 and those slides are as crisp now as then.

This detail is from the brass to Joan and John Taylour and their 15 children. It shows a sheep and a woolsack which is how John made his money and why St Peter and St Paul, Northleach, Gloucestershire is such a rich and impressive church.
