Carlisle castle graffiti gets some rather splendid conservation work.
It really is a stunning site, with some of the best early graffiti in the UK.https://t.co/aMXKv2XZxx pic.twitter.com/vtlW5S0K0G

Here's a rare one for you all – a panel of rock art between Ambleside and Rydal Hall. 😱

I never mentioned this in my book, as I couldn't find a photograph of it. It turned out to be an absolute beauty tho!#archaeology #prehistory #history #uk #travel #neolithic #cumbria #book pic.twitter.com/mM6WqQAung

'Dirck Lowersen van Stockholm anno 1665'

Graffiti on the choir stalls at Blythburgh. Until the 1890s they stood at the east end of the south aisle and formed the village school.
