Epitaphs and Graveyards with Rina Tillinger

Guest Rina Tillinger talking about her love of Graveyards and Inscriptions and book "Tiptoe Through the Tombstones" with Tim Prevett, originally broadcast in 2013, the interview is edited for RedShift Online's podcasts in March 2020. "Tiptoe Through the Tombstones explores the churchyards of Cheshire in search of unusual and unforgettable inscriptions and epitaphs carved on gravestones. Two enthusiasts, Rina Tillinger and Di Hanning-Lee meet the dead who are as interesting as the living. The Thelma and Louise of gravestoning search each Cheshire churchyard for quirky and poignant inscriptions and epitaphs with curiosity, grit (literally!) and humour. The book is a mesmerizing blend of history, mystery, poetry, tragedy and comedy. With humour, curiosity and enthusiasm, two amateur sleuths a tall brunette Yank and a small blonde Brit search the churchyards and cemeteries of Cheshire for dead interesting gravestone inscriptions and epitaphs. Each chapter describes a graveyard where they stumble literally upon local, general and military history and characters including a medieval martyr, a mother of 33 children and an actress s cuckolded husband. Tiptoe Through the Tombstones records inscriptions, epitaphs and poems that are highly imaginative, heart-warming and even inspiring. Carved in stone for posterity, the descriptions of death by scarlet fever, consumption, shipwreck, rail accident, lightning strike, drowning, falling, and gunshot (but rarely old age!) are touching, amusing and always compelling. The book combines travel writing with history, mystery, poetry and comedy." 00:16 Introduction to the Podcast Series 01:47 Introduction to the episode 03:15 Introducing Rina Tillinger 05:37 Why Graveyards?
