As well as the churchyard, at the back of the Church is an emergency exit, which is also used for disabled access. As you can see, the local "elite" have been at work! What a comparison to the wonderfully engraved headstones only a few feet away. I suppose we are lucky that these, at least, remain unvandalised (for now).

Thank you all so very much for your comments and interest in my latest uploads, and I may have some news on the young William Bulmer quite soon.

I sort of think ,from your picture, that this looks like an art form
All the kids that have written on it just want to be on something
Thankgoodness they arent defacing the gravestones or even the surrounding brickwork

barbara's quite right the brickwork remains untouched... Vandals with an arty streak, "Ridiculous"

LOL,

An emergency exit from a cemetery, love the idea...
The door is set in such a clean, pristine frame. There's a lot to look at in an apparently simple picture.

Should be easy enough to identify them as they have all left their names or aliases. They don't come much more intelligent than that Smile

Works well and as someone else emntioned, Exit seems altogether appropriate given the setting! Bet you could spend almost as long studying this as the inscriptions on the gravestones! Both have, at their base, exactly the same reason for being there!!

Emergency exit to a church, eh?!! Nice bit of stonework surrounding the door - it's to be hoped that doesn't get defaced when the door's full. Well spotted and captured, Carol.

Looks like theres only a bit of paint left! maybe they will repaint it then destroy it again. Great shot, fantastic contrast.

A great image...but a shame all the same...pointless vandalism, but agree that it's a good thing that they have left the headstones and walls alone

I agree it's pretty unusual, but with everything confined to the black space, and the outer stonework untouched, I think it makes a wonderfully surreal image. A 21st century version of prehistoric cave art? Wink
As a photo I love it, as vandalism we can do without it. But a great capture and so unusual. I wish you'd put it in a competition of some sort...if you slightly blur your vision, the main capital letters look like Greek lettering!

A sad bit of social commentary in my opinion; disrespect aside, I'd be intrigued to know the motivation: it reminds me of animals "marking" their territory!

Great contrast Carol, brilliantly taken
