Warning!
Photo heavy post!!
Enid Trot spent her adult life, cultivating herbs,
creating lotions & potions, to heal people.
Her Grandmother taught her which plants
to select from the woods & how to help
with childbirth in the small village, where she lived.
One day, the local vicar heard about Enid,
scared it was magic & witchcraft, he alerted the
witch-finder Matthew Hopkins, to her crimes.
On discovering this, the villagers told Enid.
So petrified of being taken, was Enid, that she died
that very night of fright.
Villagers now, visit her grave & place roses down.
They turn black & the stories say, it is Enid's anger,
because she had no time to teach
all her ways to a new apprentice.
Here is Enid's Tombstone.
Words made using Tim Holtz Alphanumerical
dies "Label". I did online searches
of graves to see most writing is engraved.
So added words on top would look wrong.
I also noticed no matter how old the grave,
they were never totally overgrown.
So I have kept this quite clear & focused more
on creating realistic crumbling stonework.
