This is the first of several tomb monuments in what is now called the Boothby Chapel and previously the Cockayne Chapel. This is the tomb of Sir Thomas Cockayne and his wife Dorothy, he being the one who funded the Free Grammar School. The tomb is now outside the chapel itself, having been inside the chapel (but somehw three feet into the floor) until the 1840s when a member of the Cockayne family restored it.
At the top are Thomas and Dorothy and below, their children, Francis, Thomas, Edwad, Florence, Dorothy, Tabitha, Johanna, Johanna, Jane and Maud. I assume the first Johanna is the baby being held by one of her sisters, and giving another sister the same name seems very morbid.
Named for Dr. John W. Oswald, the 13the president of Penn State (1970-1983), the Oswald Tower soars 10 stories over the University Park campus. The modernism style structure was originally named the Liberal Arts Tower, but was named in Oswald's honor in 1986. Today is houses the departments of sociology and crime, and law and justice.
I'm relaunching my Lego Mickey project from the ground up, this time "officially" as Epic Mickey and designed with Oswald-compatibility in mind. Still need to design the top/back of the head. This guy stands 7" tall without the ears as opposed to his larger predecessor, which is closer to 8" or 9" without the ears. I think this will end up being much more streamlined and playable than the original.
I could use your help though. I assumed the light silver "shoulder armor" piece used on the stomach/back came in black, but was sorely disappointed when I checked Bricklink. Can you recommend any other Bionicle/Hero Factory/Technic/hybrid pieces with similar connections that come in black? This is the closest I've found:

St Oswald's Bay is located near Lulworth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England.
The bay has a narrow beach of shingle with high chalk cliffs. The beach is cut off at high tide at the western end. At the eastern end, the climb to the shore is steep and slippery if wet. The beach is isolated with no facilities.
There are sometimes rockfalls and landslides on the cliffs, a particularly large one occurring in April 2013, which resulted in the destruction and closure of part of the South West Coast Path on the clifftop.[
Right outside of Oswald's is this really cool vintage car. I love the whitewall tires. I'm not sure what the model is, but it fits right in on Buena Vista Street!
That is one seriously messed up left hand. I started with the biggest jpg I could find and did not touch it other than enlargement. The current best analysis from Dartmouth's Hany Farid shows it is Oswald as far as head and body consistent in his backyard. However some things are clearly bizarre. That right Z wrist really stands out.
German postcard by Verlag Hermann Leiser, Berlin, no. 3154. Photo: Richard Oswald-Film. Bernd Aldor playing the violin in the German silent film Der Schloßherr von Hohenstein/The manor of Hohenstein (Richard Oswald, 1917). The woman left on the foreground is Rita Clermont.
Plot: The old father of Count Theodor von Westfried dies and leaves behind a pile of debts, so the young count (Aldor) is forced to sell the lordly family estate. After that, no work is too bad for him to get back up. The count works as a violinist as well as administrator of the landowner Weidner (Lupu Pick). There he finally finds his private happiness, for Margarete Weidner (Rita Clermont) is quite delighted with the chivalrous manners of the young, high-ranked gentleman. NB future director Manfred Noa was responsible for the film's sets.
Bernd Aldor (1881 - 1950) was a star of the German silent cinema in the 1910s and 1920s, often in films by Richard Oswald or Lupu Pick. Sound film and the Nazi regime broke the career of this Jewish actor.
The Little Owl (Athene noctua)
This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight it has long, rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight undulation.

A largely 19th century church externally, but the North aisle of coursed rubble undoubtedly constructed of older materials.
The Grade I Listed Peterborough Cathedral, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
It has been the site of church since 655 when one of the first centres of Christianity in central England known simply as Medeshamstede was founded during the reign of the Anglo-Saxon King Peada of the Middle Angles.
In 966 a Benedictine Abbey was created out of the former church by Athelwold, Bishop of Winchester. The Abbey survived battles between local folk-hero Hereward the Wake and the Norman invaders, but was destroyed by an accidental fire in 1116. Due to this it was rebuilt into the modern building between 1118-1237 in the Norman style.
The church houses many relics including the arm of St Oswald, two pieces of swaddling clothes which wrapped the baby Jesus, pieces of Jesus' manger, a part of the five loaves which fed the 5,000, a piece of the raiment of St Mary, a piece of Aaron's rod, and relics of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew - to whom the church is dedicated.)
In 1541, following Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries all of the church's relics were lost but the church survived by being selected as the cathedral of the new Diocese of Peterborough. This may have been related to the fact that Henry's former queen, Katherine of Aragon, had been buried there in 1536.
In 1587, the body of Mary, Queen of Scots, was also buried here after her execution at nearby Fotheringhay Castle, but it was later removed to Westminster Abbey on the orders of her son, King James I of England.

I bought an album online with only a couple of pictures shown. When I got it and thumbed through it, I came upon this postcard and was momentarily elated. Then reality set in, and I realized it was photolithographic and not signed by the great one. Oh well.
St. Oswald's at Methley to the south east of Leeds, is a Grade 1 listed Church which dates back to the fourteenth century. The building contains famous tombs and has links with the Tudors, The Wars of the Roses and the Battle of Towton.
Lionel de Welles, 6th Baron Welles, (c.1406 - 29 March 1461) is interred in the church, he was killed fighting on the Lancastrian side at the Battle of Towton, fought in a snowstorm on 29 March 1461 it was one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on English soil. Welles also fought for Lancaster at the battle of Mortimer's Cross, and the 2nd Battle of St Albans. By his second marriage to Margaret Beauchamp, Baron Welles became the step father of Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII. The alabaster tomb of Welles and his wife Jane, heiress of Robert Waterton, is located beneath the window in the south wall of the Waterton Chapel.
Lord Welles is clad in armour, his head rests on his helmet, his feet upon a lion.. He wears a chain round his neck, a belt with jewels and the garter with its motto on his left leg. Over his armour is a surcoat with the arms of the Welles family. On the left of Lord Welles is his wife, her head, with mitred headdress, is richly dressed, resting upon a cushion supported by angels. She wears a mantle embroidered with the arms of the Welles family, at her feet are two small dogs. The tomb bears the arms of Waterton, Welles and Willoughby families. Baron Welles body was brought to Methley in a sack after the Battle of Towton to prevent his remains from being mutilated by his Yorkist enemies.
Between the chancel and chapel is a beautiful canopied altar tomb of alabaster bears the recumbent figures of Robert Waterton and his wife Cecily, their hands together as if in prayer. Robert Waterton is dressed in plate armour, his feet rest upon a lion, and his head resting upon his helmet, which bears a plume of feathers. A chain is round his neck and round his waist is a richly-jewelled belt from which hangs a dagger.His wife is dressed in a long, loose garment, her richly dressed head resting upon a cushion supported by angels. Two pet dogs are at her feet. The tomb has five niches with arches. In the south/central is a figure - God the Father - and the arms of the Waterton and Fleming families.
The Chapel contains other fine monuments to the Savile family. On the north side is a large monument by Peter Scheemakers with effigies of Charles Savile, semi-recumbent, who died 1741, and his wife Aletheia, who died in 1759, seated holding an open book. On the south wall is a large monument with semi-recumbent figure of John Savile, first Earl of Mexborough (died 1748), by the sculptor Wilton, and erected by his widow. There are murals to other members of the Savile family. Between the tombs of the Watertons and Welles, Dorothy, the third wife of John Savile and widow of Sir Martin Frobisher, is buried.
The ceiling is flat panelled and dates to fifteenth century, its timber framework is decorated with armorials and winged angels. The four-light east window contains some very old glass collected from various windows in the church. Some of the glass is fifteenth century. The figures depict, from left to right, St. George, Rachel, St. Katherine and St. Francis. The window was erected in 1901 in the memory of Rachel Katherine Walpole, Viscountess Pollington, who died on 21st June 1854.The oak altar table, together with cross and candlesticks and kneeling benches, were all designed by Robert Thompson, the famous "mouse man" of Kilburn.
The Church had a spire from the mid eighteenth century to 1937, when it became unsafe and was dismantled. The Castleford-born artist Henry Moore was a frequent visitor to the church.

The church at Rand is dedicated to St Oswald and has been standing in remote fields since the early 14th century. The present building is of grey stone, with a slated roof. It has a broad west tower that was built in the 15th century. The bell openings are Decorated and the west window has a Norman monster head. The nave and chancel were restored during the last century but the chancel arch is over 500 years old. There is a stone pulpit with a brass rail. The octagonal font is also of stone, with carvings, and was re-set in 1902 to commemorate the end of the Boer War. The head moulds of the east window are early 14th century but the communion rail and the choir stalls are Victorian. There is an Estey American organ (Harmonium).
The church possesses a wonderful array of monuments, both in brass and stone. in 1890, portions of 6 brasses found loose in the vestry were grouped and refixed on a slab on the north wall of the nave. The most outstanding part of this memorial is an Elizabethan lady with hands clasped and wearing a gown with a beautifully embroidered front panel, with a ruff and cap. There is a bust of another lady similarly attired and the legs and feet of a knight in plate armour with spurs, the feet resting on a lion. An oblong plate at the foot of the memorial bears the following inscription:-
"Here lyeth Willyam Metham of Bolington Esqvier who was sonne of Robarte Metham second sonne of Sir Thomas Metham of Cave Knight He had 4 wyves the first was the widdow of one Good the second was Ellen the davghter of Mr Whyttington and he had by hir issue Charles Svsan and Anne the third Fravncs davghter to Willyam Lord Willovghby of Parham and by her had issve Catheren and Dorotie He dyed the 12 of Ianvary 1590 and the 66 yeare of his age"
There are three shields of arms with inscriptions on a small oblong plate to three children of William Metham - Anne, married to William Welcum of Lincolne; Susan, married to Henry Winfeilde of Nocton; and Charles, married to Anne, daughter of Robert Dimock of Skrelsbye. There is also a shield with mantling crests and quarterings of Metham.
In the north wall of the chancel is the late 13th century effigy of a lady. Her head is upon a pillow, supported at each end by an angel, her hands are placed together as if in prayer and her feet are resting on a dog. This monument is thought to have been inspired by the Angel Choir in Lincoln Cathedral. There are five monuments in the nave - three in the north wall and two in the south. The first on the north side is to Sir Vincent Fulnetby, Kn, 1606, his armorial bearing being the three crescents and a chief ermine. Several shields of arms are included.
The second is to Sir Sapcote Harrington, 1630. He and his wife are represented kneeling at a desk with three daughters and two sons beneath them.
The third is to Dame Dorothy Leigh, first wife of Sir Thos. Leigh of Ingoldsby, and afterwards to Chas. Metham, Esqre of Bullington.
In the south wall there is a monument to Anna Metham, she is represented kneeling amongst her children, 1604.
The other memorial on the south side is to Chas. Metham, Esq. He and his wife are kneeling at a desk (1628).
Blick auf den Kirchturm der Pfarrkirche St. Oswald in Baunach bei Bamberg. Die Dachform des Kirchturms verweist auf das Erzbistum Bamberg, vor dessen Toren Baunach liegt. Die Kirche gehört allerdings zum Bistum Würzburg. Ein Kirchbau wird bereits Anfang des 9. Jhds. erwähnt. Baunach war eine der Urpfarreien des Bistums Würzburg.
