St Michael, Great Sampford, Essex (2/3)
North Aisle Graffiti
Following on from the previous post about St Michael’s church in Great Sampford, Essex, this post will concentrate on the graffiti in the north aisle of the church.
The protective marks in the north aisle mostly consist of compass drawn circles with a single Marian mark and a pentagram to add variety.
The rest of the graffiti is made up of names, initials and memorials. The earliest date is 17th century.
