Following our intervention, @RBKingston have repainted the bike logos on Old London Road, Kingston (#Cycleway 30) so they are further away from the parking spaces. This will help guide people to cycle away from the doors of parked vehicles making it a little safer

@DavidUnderdown9 Your book "Fire from Heaven" has helped my understand the movement of Bushrods to Mass then to VA. Great Read to understand the formation of America.

Data from ~38,000 British soldiers from 1755-1758 yields an average age of ~28. A just little younger than Christopher Duffy's "well-set up man in his early thirties." Compare that to: US soldier in WW2 was 26. Vietnam it was 19-23. Today in the US it is ~27.

"In peace, sons bury their fathers, in war, fathers bury their sons." I can almost hear the Rome: Total War loading music. How old was the average 18th cent. soldier? TL;DR, older than you might think, probably around 30. Ages ranged from 16-55+. 1/17

This is a fitting culmination to an amazing story - back in 2020, I wrote in the @CatholicHerald about archaeologists' firm identification of the relics of St Eanswythe in Folkestone catholicherald.co.uk/st-eanswythe-h…
Eleanor Parker@ClerkofOxford

Yesterday saw a very rare event: the relics of Eanswythe of Folkestone, one of the earliest Anglo-Saxon saints, were translated into a new shrine. Her remains were hidden at the Reformation, rediscovered, and recently confirmed to date to the 7th century. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
