Description: Photographs of misericords found in British and European churches, Cathedrals, Hospitals and Courts.
For many years, I have had a fascination with misericords, and it is my hope that this website will enable people who may either not know anything about misericords, or only know of a few examples  to see the great variety of misericords that still exist today.  However, as this site has expanded, so have my hopes ☺ - Now I hope that all who have an interest in misericords, whether passing, or deeply learned will enjoy (and critique) this site.
