This is from the parish register for Kineton, Warwickshire, on the 1642 burials page.

Horse doodles might seem odd, until you realise that Kineton was AKA Edgehill, the first major conflict of the English Civil Wars. There would have been a LOT of horses.🐴

Perhaps the eagle-eyed amongst you can spot an error the artist made when naming some of the parts of the site 👀
