Historic graffiti at Kibworth Harcourt windmill, Leicestershire. 16 September 2021
From Twitter
Royal Naval Air Station Dale was built on the Pembrokeshire coast in 1941. During the war it was used by No.34 Polish Bomber Squadron.
The site is now mostly farmland, tho one of the RAF officers' accommodation blocks retains wartime cartoons of aircraft drawn on the walls.

A slow start to day 7 of #TheDig2021 at @SmallhytheNT
A view of our site office, in the 'green room' of the Barn Theatre. Where once great actors such as John Gielgud and Antony Hawtrey waited to tread the boards – & left the odd momento. pic.twitter.com/7vGsOr5KQc— Medieval Graffiti (@MedievalG) August 8, 2021
As stuck inside heading off for a #DistanceDrift through the photo archive what can we find with the theme #Underfoot ? Ah some footprints on a lead roof pic.twitter.com/IjSKejFXLy

Inside the tower there is a unique bell-ringing table painted on the wall, dated 1692. The only known example. I spotted some possible @MedievalG too, plus later dating #Imber @TheCCT pic.twitter.com/kpSomXdVPv

Not the best photo (I need a graffiti recording buddy or an extra hand!) but, a lion (?) on one of the pillars of the south aisle at St Mary's Church, Wendover #medievalgraffiti pic.twitter.com/1OqTUKxBi9

A good survey day at St Peter and St Paul, #Farningham in Kent. Earliest part (chancel) dates from mid-13th century but, along with nave, has been extensively altered. We found most #graffiti in the 15th century tower. #Archaeology @Nathalie_Cohen @MedievalG @Anstye1944 pic.twitter.com/dZKGUtaKax

You know when you think you know a place inside out/upside down/like the back of your hand? Then the sun hits a gloss-painted door a particular way and…..boom. #onesurveyisneverenough Mind you, I bet @Anstye1944 & @graffitiKent knew it was there ????@Nathalie_Cohen @MedievalG pic.twitter.com/ciOU9gVrJr

And lastly, the charcoal graffito that changed (or rather reconfirmed) it all! The eruption that buried #Pompeii, quite firmly placed in October 79 CE.
It’s small, and placed on the edge of a wall that meets a long corridor walkway as side access into the house pic.twitter.com/abmFUq6Yly— Dr Emlyn Dodd (@emlynkd) August 18, 2021

Quite often graffiti just makes me smile, and I think we could maybe all do with a smile. Say hi to Thriplow, it's a very wavy church. pic.twitter.com/H21ZkerY3X
