@medievalists Interesting article, & use of DNA analysis! Chess pieces made of horse, cow & deer bones - and "fashioned by groups (of pawns, of rooks, of bishops and knights and of queens and kings), which testifies to planned, routine activity, probably in a specialized workshop."

I just wanted to paint these sweet fellows in some hot 12th century looks, as you do, so I did. I’d like to submit this as evidence that we should bring the bliaut back into fashion, yes?

The parish church in the Lincolnshire village of Tealby is dedicated to All Saints and is made out of local ironstone which gives it its glorious orange colour.
Like many of our country's churches, All Saints has been restored, but its origins are in the 12th century, however parts of the tower appear to be Norman. In the 19th-century poet Alfred Tennyson’s estranged family added to and were involved in the refurbishment of the inside of the church, in fact everywhere you look they get a mention.
