@izzysmart Thanks, Izzy. Will do.

@benthejrporter query gravestone with skulls in google. You will find loads on it.

@AZUREGLIDE Thanks, mate. Roslyn I think you mean. You're right. Graveyards are one of the most accessible places to find amazing historical evidence. Get your camera out and show us that Norman cemetary. I'll try to make this is vid response; never thought of that.

@roaringwaterbay There is a connection I think, although I need more evidence to prove it. The Knights Templar presence in Oxford is undeniable. These graves could be from the last Templars who lived at the Temple Cowley preceptory I show in the other film.

@Omegahybridx I thought I was the only person who liked that film!

@rapteye So they are! Thanks, mate.

@izzysmart Are they? How do you know?

@hotsonny505 Apparently! In New Guinea for instance.
Always a great watch. Thanks Ben :)

Good effort Ben - you may find that graveyards now have very strict rules as to exactly what material, size, style, colour and what font is used on gravestones. Some graveyards no long allow upright gravestones, merely a flat plaque of a standard size! My grandmother used to call graveyards fairy land because of the many ornately carved Victorian angels and cherubs.

@anotherblonde Sadly modern cemetaries have these much stricter rules you refer to. I suspect that future historians will not find them as interesting places as we do today :-(
