“The graves of those we loved,
How beautiful they lie,
From every care and strife removed;
Beneath the heavens canopy.”
~ John Clare, from the Churchyard
ICONOGRAPHY in graveyards involves the use of symbols and motifs on tombstones and monuments to convey messages about the deceased, their beliefs, and the cultural or religious context of the time.
These symbols serve as a form of visual communication, expressing themes of life, death, and the afterlife.
