More seriously there is obviously a common language link between lych and lyke, up here the descent is obviously from the Scandinavian being well inside the Danelaw.

I'm minded of watching Wallander (the proper Swedish version) a while ago and being amazed and amused in equal measure at hearing some of the Swedish language dialogue being delivered in thick Cumbrian accents.

There is no difference in the way Krister Henrikson and I pronounce "Can we come in?"  lol

Anyway, back on topic, this is a great thread and one that has me thinking about yet another project. Definitely inspiring.  8)

I'm always interested in the odds and sods that come up on here, I didn't know that there were corpse roads that far south.

The Lyke Wake Walk sounds interesting, I might try that next time I'm visiting the Grim North!   ;)

A bit of progress with the graveyard and Cabell's Mausoleum. I'm on to the more fun parts now, planning the graves etc.

Thanks, I've decided I don't like the vinyl tile for the path now, awaiting delivery of some cobblestone sheets to see if that looks better.

Looking really nice. That lych gate well and truly kicks the backside of the one that I knocked up a few months ago - really impressive.

Inspiring work - keep it going, sir...!

Thanks, Doug and Silent Invader for your kind comments. I'm just painting a couple of statues and some gravestones now.

I think you're right about going for a textured path, it will have more visual impact. It's going to be great!

You're right about the visual impact. I've already ripped off the vinyl tiles. My order arrived today and I have a choice of York Stone Paving, Granite Setts or Cobblestones. I'm going for the York Stone Paving as it looks rather nice. More soon.
