Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas

May 7, 2024

Grave of 'Washed Ashore' in East Sussex,...

May 7, 2024

In the serene churchyard of St Mary the Virgin Parish Church, in the village of Friston on England’s south coast is a small but poignant wooden cross. Its unpretentious, unadorned, design is simple yet striking, for it’s boldly inscribed with the phrase “Washed Ashore,” an indicator of the tragic story of the grave’s occupant.
