Very excited for this, I have a special interest in these tombs ever since I was a child. I used to regularly go to view the one in Lincoln cathedral and found it mesmerising!

This looks extremely interesting, I love these macabre memento mori

Please look up the difference between prone and supine. I would be very surprised if any of these figures are lying prone.

Oh dear. Quite right.
