Brinkburn Priory Tomb Slab /Gravestone.
I was at Brinkburn and Cragside today.
Drove into Rothbury for a cucumber for the Guinea pigs but they didn't have any. Rothbury. Cucumber free zone. Anyway, this is the oldie gravestone in Brinkburn Priory Church presbytery floor. 15th century, '..the tomb slab of William, a fifteenth century prior of Brinkburn'. |

I forgot to count how many gravestones are in the floor - it's not a lot, about ten I would guess.
This one is an interesting example, made from a dark (almost black) limestone full of fossil corals. I feel I've seen this stone somewhere before? Durham cathedral? Anyway it matches the legs of the pulpit base. (19c) |
