Various Women

St Mary’s Church carvings, Beverley

Somewhere, somehow, I hear that a church near the east coast is running a project replacing crumbled stone carvings with new ones, showcasing 9 pioneering women.  I could research and write about them myself, but when I arrive an exhibition captures all you need to know…

So you don’t have to endure my jaunty phone camera angles, the exhibition also features plaster casts of the carvings.  Phew.  The initial plan for one carving to be Queen Elizabeth was changed to Libby Lane, the first female Bishop in the myself, Church of England.
