....this is part of the tower of St John The Baptist Church in Chester standing in ruins after collapsing in 1881, the church having stood on this spot since 689! Placed high in the wall of the ruin has been placed a medieval solid oak coffin found during repairs in 1813. Inside are painted the words "Dust to Dust" :~0

It's all about perspective and perception.
There are several speculations as to who it was Patty! If you look at this link ( http://www.bwpics.co.uk/stjohn2.html ), half way down the page, you can read about it - possibilities are that it was a murdered monk or even a wicked old parishioner! lol It was discovered when the church was undergoing restoration.
ps can someone tell me how to make a link in these messages! hmmmm! confused I am! :)

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

My father was a brick mason.....so I am always totally fascinated by textures, architecture and brick and stone-work. Beautiful!

Very nice capture Patti, you do have a good eye for these things. I like the angle you used and again, the different colors in the stone are great. Nicely done. Anita
