Spanked in church
A humorous misericord which appears to show a nun punishing a naked man by caning him on the rear. Misericords were small seats or benches intended to provide some level of comfort for those standing during long periods of prayer. Religious themes were usually deemed too holy to suffer being sat upon so, so craftsmen working on the church were given free reign of creativity when creating them. They often depict everyday life, or as here, sometimes even slightly ribald or humorous events.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
