Devon Historic Graffiti Survey

The Devon Historic Graffiti Survey is a project of the Devon Archaeological Society.

The aim of the Devon Historic Graffiti Survey is to identify and record the historic graffiti found in the county’s churches.

The project follows on from other volunteer-led graffiti surveys, the first of which was set up in Norfolk in 2010 (Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey). The results of the surveys are fascinating and are changing our perceptions of historic graffiti and its many possible meanings.

The Survey involves basic archaeological recording, which can be carried out by individuals or people working in pairs or groups. No previous knowledge is needed as training will be given. If you think you may be interested in joining us, or just want to know more, please have a look at the project website – https://devonhistoricgraffiti.org.uk/
