The whole family is entranced by @NellytheWillow ‘s sumptuous book on the #Pinwill sisters, three remarkable late Victorian women, daughters of a vicar, who became professional #woodcarvers & whose work is simply stunning 💫🙌💫🙌💫

Chartres Cathedral today

‘Nocturne in Black and Gold, The Falling Rocket’ - James McNeill Whistler, 1877.

A big heart for St. Valentine’s Day! The ‘King and Queen’ carving from St. Mary’s Church at Wirksworth in Derbyshire. The carving is possibly Anglo-Saxon in date. #ValentinesDay2022

#Twitterhistorians I’m wondering if anyone knows anyone who might be willing to consider reading one/a couple of chapters of All the Queen’s Jewels with a view to giving me some feedback. I’d be very grateful if so 🙏🏻

A Little Owl by Albrecht #Durer for #owlishmonday A watercolour on paper from early 1500s, beautifully realised talons and posture. It's in the Albertina, Vienna

The episode with me is out now!

#Lammas is ‘hlaf-maesse’ (loaf-mass) in #OldEnglish & is referred to in the C9th #AngloSaxon Chronicle. On 1st Aug bread made from the first harvest was blessed in church. This bread was then used magically to protect new grain. #SuperstitionSat Furlongs, Eric Ravilious, 1934

1st August is #Lammas, a harvest festival. It was believed that the protective ‘corn spirit’ took refuge in the last few stalks of grain, and a ‘Corn Dolly’ was made from them to house her over winter. The ‘dolly’ was ploughed back into the first new furrow at #Imbolc. #folklore

Paper Stained Glass Window made entirely out of laser cut paper. Hundreds of sheets of coloured paper create laser cut stained glass patterns. Eric Standley maker

Hello again. May Morris was of course William Morris’s Daughter. She was a fabulous seamstress and today rather undervalued. This is ‘’Spring and Summer Victorian Tile

Hello again ‘Little Tern’. Ewoud de Groot who is from the Netherlands. His style changed my mind about Wildlife when I found his work a long time ago. Ethereal painting

Another Day and another chart. Andy Tuohy is the artist who compiled it

And so to Bluntisham. The writer Dorothy L Sayers grew up here. Her father, the rector, was a bell-ringing enthusiast, and became the model for the Reverend Theodore Venables in her book The Nine Tailors, though the church of Fenchurch St Paul is not based on this church.

And for #Caturday, in the Karl Parsons' #stainedglass at Hempsted, 1923-4, this cutie tripping up the dancers in true cat fashion... #Gloucestershire #CatsOfTwitter I wonder if depicts the pet of the little girl commemorated in the window?

Wishing you a Happy #Easter weekend with this embroidered bunny (17th century)
