York Cemetery is a treasure box of flora and fauna. In the recent #CityNatureChallenge a few volunteers recorded over 550 observations in just a couple of hours. This little fellow is a white-lipped snail. It prefers to eat nettles, ragwort and hogweed - all of which grow here.

York City Nature Challenge 2024@citynature_york

The lettering was hand carved. Tiny holes were drilled into each letter, to anchor the lead. Individually cut lead strips were securely hammered into the stone with a wooden mallet. For raised lettering, the lead on the surface was then carefully cut to shape. Isn’t it lovely!

The Victorians took the process a stage further with detailed and precise lead lettering. It provided elegant, raised relief text in a contrasting colour, but it was an expensive option.

Lets celebrate this February shall we? This February shows one of the many kinds of lettering found around the Cemetery - lead lettering. The earliest churchyard memorials to 'ordinary' parishioners tend to be small with naively cut letters, sometimes filled with lead.
