My forthcoming book with @routledgehistory.bsky.social. All about Norman charters and the 11th century history of the abbey of Sainte-Trinité-du-Mont, Rouen. Discovering ‘Bernard the Cook’ in 30 years of the abbey’s charters inspired me to write this book. www.routledge.com/Approaching-...
It was a magical evening in amongst the stones and with astronomers there to explain the night sky.
Wonderful photo. And here’s the Heel Stone not long after dark this time last year.
The magnificent Corfe Castle today. A celebration of community art and engagement with our landscapes. Part of the Inside Out Dorset arts festival. I’ve loved being part of this.
Wonderful to see the amazing ‘Giant’ community art project I’ve been involved with come to fruition today. It was unveiled next to the Cerne Abbas giant. It has made the BBC news and the national press. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Delighted to now be a visiting scholar at Edinburgh university.
Great to be given a tour of the department and campus earlier this week. Very much looking forward to catching up with Charles West @pseudo-isidore.bsky.social and Bill Aird. @hcaatedinburgh.bsky.social
It was lovely to see ‘A Date with the Two Cerne Giants’ on the @oxbowbooks.bsky.social stand at #IMC2025. Chapter 13 is mine! And as always the greatest of thanks to @richardosgood.bsky.social for letting me include his famous Cerne Giant image in my chapter.
Following my work on the Cerne Giant project, it’s the greatest pleasure to be involved with this community art project about creating a new giant for the Dorset National Landscape. To be revealed in September. @beccagill.bsky.social and Radical Ritual.
