From Elswyth, a series tracing the living presence within historic ground.

In the churchyard of Holy Trinity, Buckfastleigh, the gravestones tilt gently among grass and shadow – each stone shaped by weather, memory, and renewal. I’m fascinated by how life persists in these places – moss softening the edges, birdsong threading through the stillness, time moving quietly over stone.
