The great #medieval fair at #Stourbridge outside #Cambridge (https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/the-800-year-old-story-of-stourbridge-fair) was commemorated last weekend at the #LeperChapel with dancing, singing, storytelling & craft stalls.
The #14thCentury accounts of the #LadyOfClare record purchases there over the years: salt, often; also furs & lambskins; smoked herring, cod & stockfish; rice & almonds. #Almonds were bought in great quantity, used by the pastry chef from Paris & to indulge the pet #parrots.
