Here is the site (http://www.iomguide.com/crosses/andreas/kirk-andreas.php) with more info about the crosses and the names. Actually I have some other really nice close ups, but the post was getting a bit long, and they are actually taken from casts, I think, of Sandulf's cross. I have a wolf, a couple of horses and what I think is a huntsman, a hunting dog, and a stag. There is something quite Rohirric about them, I think. Would you like me to e-mail them sometime?
I know how you feel about the writing just now - I have 1,500 words of the next chapter done, but am managing to put off writing any more for hours and hours every evening - I know what is due to happen but am having trouble getting it into the right, and logical, order!
ETA - I am fairly sure the babies are in consecrated ground, unless they managed to leave a bit unconsecrated in a strange place - you can see them in the picture of the war graves - they are between them and the fence. Unless they actually moved the fence since the war to make room for them, which, I guess, is quite possible. In which case it is just possible that they are fulfilling 'the letter of the law' and are in unconsecrated ground, whilst being outside the spirit of that idea, as they are, so clearly, within the church yard.
