Into April with a host of golden daffodils in the grounds of Sunderland's Grade I listed St Peter's Church, founded by Benedict Biscop in AD674 when the area was part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. Venerable Bede, who was brought by his parents to be educated at the monastic site which once occupied the grounds in this view, recorded that Benedict brought stonemasons and glassworkers from Gaul to help build the church, as these crafts were not yet established in Anglo-Saxon England.

Invented in the 1810s, the heavy coffin-shaped mortsafe was placed over the wooden coffin after interment and left there until the body had decomposed enough to no longer be suitable for dissection. The watchhouse would be occupied for the same period of time.
A cast iron mortsafe and stone watchhouse in the Cadder Parish Churchyard on the outskirts of Glasgow. These features were designed to thwart the body-snatchers of the early 1800s who would steal the recently buried to sell to local medical schools.
