The great thing about medieval floor tiles is that even if you have just a little piece you can usually reconstruct their full appearance. For #TilesOnTuesday here's a fragment from a St Catherine's wheel we excavated last year at #CerneAbbey
25 years ago I saw the "portraits" of witch suspects Agnes and Joan Waterhouse in a 1566 news pamphlet - re-labelled generic images of women. TODAY I found a book where the woodblocks were used before: a 1506 publication by printer Richard Pynson. If you wait long enough...
If you can't join in person - here's a link for an online spot at my next graffiti talk! I'm really excited to share some of my latest findings with you all! eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-readi… #graffiti #medievalgraffiti #historicgraffiti

Virtues and Vices on the C12th font at Southrop #Gloucestershire #FontsOnFriday
Callington #Cornwall What a profile! Corner head with serpent and hexagram, typical of Altarnun-type fonts, but all different. Love finding them. 📸: my own #FontsOnFriday
I am so excited to say that I have finished my PhD! Huge 'thank you's to my wonderful supervisors Oliver Creighton and @DrC_Rider, as well as my brilliant examiners. It's been an amazing experience and I'm hoping to share more of my research soon!
Today is Plough Monday, by tradition the start of the farming year, a day of significance in every rural community. This 1849 headstone for 21 year old Samuel Croft at Blyford, Suffolk has a relief of horses unharnessed from the plough, a symbol of his labours being over.…
The delightful font cover that resides over the Romanesque font of 1170 at Beverley Minster was designed by Hawksmoor in 1726 and carved by William Thornton of York.
Satin pin cushion, English, 1652 - the design in pins (Victoria & Albert Museum, London) There's something immensely soothing about this object.

I was rather taken by this display of foxes and cockerels at Irstead Church, Norfolk. #tilesonTuesday
Ghost Angel in the Beauchamp chapel in St. Mary's Warwick. As the wash fades, more of the angel appears - they say the eye came first some time ago. Can't see it? Look closer...
Fovant church, Wiltshire. Unusual brass to rector George Rede Inscription reads 'Pray for the soul of George Rede, formerly Rector of the Church of Fovant at the time of the building of the new tower there, AD 1492, on whose soul God have mercy Amen'.
The Dance of Death as depicted on a fifteenth century screen at Sparham church, Norfolk. #Halloween
For Halloween here is a skelly on a rustic misericord in Christchurch College chapel at Brecon, Wales.
Doing my bit for the ‘Look up’ Family day here @Nrw_Cathedral (and doing my best to stay out of the way of small people).
Inside the medieval roof timbers at Beverley Minster, Yorkshire. One of the timber struts has been dendro-dated (c. 921) and was a sapling during the reign of King Æthelstan. #throwbackthursday

A new discovery (for me) Wells, St. Cuthbert's, Somerset thanks to @Eleanor25661771 A fine mishmash of mostly C18 (bottom portion) w the top portion C15. Not sure about the finial. The count for English medieval #FontCovers is now 147.
I've just realised that Psalm 74:15 implies this is how God made the manna rain from heaven in the wilderness - by blowing up Leviathan: "Thou smotest the heads of Leviathan in pieces: and gavest him to be meat for the people in the wilderness."
#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.
25 years ago I saw the "portraits" of witch suspects Agnes and Joan Waterhouse in a 1566 news pamphlet - re-labelled generic images of women. TODAY I found a book where the woodblocks were used before: a 1506 publication by printer Richard Pynson. If you wait long enough...

Yeah, sorry, I don’t care how much good it does for archaeology, I’m not going to give Joe Rogan any views - and I’m especially not going to give him any praise lol.
@GraffitiGinger Looking forward to your talk, last time was at Conway Hall 2019?
Having attended one of Crystal's talks this comes highly recommended!
