in the churchyard at dore abbey a new bench. '212 souls' a memorial to those who died at abbeydore workhouse in its near century of operations (1837-1930) and are buried in unmarked graves in the churchyard.
at least that's the figure obtained from perusing the archives. (it could easily be more).
yesterday horsemouth also went for a wander up on the common (though not up to its highest point due to the mud) and he delivered eggs.
on the monday march 11th 1872 kilvert sees his love daisy and they have the chance to have a good chat but she talks of the dissenters stealing 3 bells from the 6 at llanigon church instead. (this seems to horsemouth quite a major undertaking).
tomorrow a gothic episode.
in the morning grey skies and a cold wind. his mum is up early (citing 'things to do').
