hexham abbey

Hexham Abbey has some mighty weird medieval carvings inside the building. The one above is part of a series of about 8, which reminded me of Aztec sculptures. This one has 3 faces; 4 if you count the one like an animal at the bottom. My photos were taken using my phone; hence the strange quality. I tried with and without flash. The old problem; too dark without flash; too bleached out with flash. But it does give some idea of the strangeness of the carvings.

 A more conventional head/portrait.

And a rubbish photo of a sarcophagus. But the folds of her dress are identifiable.
