I'd offer a reflection on what this statue, its history, and the life of the figure it depicts say about the UK's links to continental Europe- on this most pivotal of days- but then the only other statue directly next to the Houses of Parliament is of Oliver Cromwell. Go figure.

Planning for #IMC2020? We're seeking 1)presenters for #EPSBrevia. 2)papers on bishop as a builder/bishop's buildings. May consider theme strand & approach bishop as as defining/rejecting borders. Might also consider the bishop as builder broadly. @PotBConf #MedievalTwitter

It's the 75th anniversary of 'A Canterbury Tale', which was released on 21 August 1944 - a strange and wonderful wartime film about pilgrimage, love, history, and the imaginative draw of the past. I wrote about it for @HistoryToday here: historytoday.com/archive/out-ma…

Since it's the feast of Bernard of Clairvaux, here are a few pictures of the first Cistercian monastery in England: Waverley Abbey, founded in 1128 in a green valley beside the River Wey in Surrey. Its ruins are graceful, now home to water-birds instead of the 'white monks'.
