Medieval manuscripts are shaped by countless decisions made by scribes, illustrators, binders, and other hands. Thomas C. Sawyer explores how these choices, both material and textual, reveal the rich and complex world behind the making of a #medieval book. buff.ly/cuNwgQs

There's vaulting, and then there's vaulting. The ante-chapel to the Order of the Thistle Chapel in the High Kirk of St Giles, Edinburgh. Commissioned by Edward VII in 1906, it was the work of Robert Lorimer, 1909-10. Unsurprisingly, he received a knighthood for it. 1/3

I once dreamt that I covered my house in glue and rolled it through Westminster Abbey. In Greetham, Rutland, Thomas Halliday, a Victorian stonemason, did the nearest possible thing - embedding medieval fragments from his restorations into his own house and yard.

My latest column for @HistoryToday is about the amazing Anglo-Saxon carvings at Deerhurst - including this angel, who seems to have stepped straight out of the uncanny Old English poem 'Andreas' historytoday.com/archive/out-ma…

St Clare of Assisi, the first woman to write - and defend - a Rule for her own congregation of women. (Ms UCD-OFM B44 in @ucdarchives ) #InternationalWomensDay

Result of an unprecedented cultural partnership between France and the UK, the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry – a historic first – for an exhibition at the @BritishMuseum was showcased at Piccadilly Circus this morning! 🇫🇷🇬🇧

The Tapestry looked wonderful on the giant screen in Piccadilly Circus. Imagine how good it will be close up! (Forgive the background hubbub).

An octagonal ceiling painting of Christ Resurrection by Tintoretto, which had been turned into a rectangular galley picture, was re-framed at the Ashmolean Museum this week. I carved a frame based on Venetian 16th century ceilings to cover the additions.

Enjoying the irony of 'Restore Britain' having no clue about the original Britons.

The fabulous ivory throne of Bishop Maximian, gifted to him by Justinian the Great!

The writer Patrick Leigh Fermor was born #OTD 11 February 1915. In December 1933, at the age of 18, he set out to walk across Europe from London to Constantinople, a journey which took him four years. He recounted his story, which captures the continent in the deceptive peace before the Second World War, over three books. The first of them, 'A Time of Gifts', is considered by many to be one of the best travel books ever written. 1/3

In Anglo-Saxon architecture, Roman stone meets a timber way of thinking: stone becomes articulated into the Saxon timber-centric world view. I suppose, in this way, it is also a memory as well as a material. Here at All Saints', Earls Barton. 📸 my own.

St Wystan's Church crypt, Repton. Described by John Betjeman as "holy air encased in stone", the 8th-century crypt served as a mausoleum for members of the Mercian royal family before becoming a shrine for the relics of St Wystan (d.849) and a place of pilgrimage. 📸2025
