Possibly the ugliest church cherub ever? Felmingham, Norfolk.

A little over a week to go before this lecture on medieval graffiti in #Bristol. Why not join us and discover the hidden histories of the medieval church. We may even touch upon the story of a Tudor #Banksy !

When you can't quite make up your mind which window style to pick, so you pick them all... Shereford, St Nicholas, Norfolk.

Slightly unusual remains of the C15th rood screen at Dickleburgh, Norfolk, that doesn't get enough attention IMHO. No saints or angels here, but rather a fantastic collection of tiny village characters, devils, animals...

And Dickleburgh is one of the very few churches in the area to contain a depiction of the famous #Norfolk 'Arse Dragon'. Scourge of kings and princes, and feared throughout the land...

An unusual collection of 'the usual'. Crosses around the south doorway. Wetheringsett church, Suffolk. medieval-graffiti.co.uk/page16.html

Up with the God's. Roof inspection at the cathedral of St John the Baptist in Norwich. A medieval cathedral built in the late C19th.

Historic Building Mythbusting was spotted in the wild today over Chester Cathedral next door but one from matthew champion tome on Medieval Graffiti. I even snuck in a graffiti-adjacent couple of chapters into Mythbusting...

The difference between academic buildings archaeology and the day to day practical buildings archaeology. Weather, high vis, and the hope that your cathedral architect has adequate insurance...

I'd forgotten about this little beauty. C11th century carved ivory plaque, originally discovered in North Elmham in Norfolk, and now in the lovely museum of archaeology and anthropology in Cambridge. Well worth a visit.

Some brickwork is easier to date than others. Walsingham, Norfolk

Largest ever discovery of 'witch marks' found in Fakenham Tesco, with a fine selection of Quaker curses to boot... Halloween must be near...

Stay safe out there everyone... #Halloween
