  1. I'm just listening on Trio Mediæval's Stella Maris. This album sing song of music of 12 century. First time the europa's music write in a manuscript. I start learning history of europa's classic music in the book.

  3. Mediaeval experts' assistance needed again, I'm afraid!

    I've accounts for alms-giving of Queen Eleanor, 1284, giving 'number of days' during a progression.

    The question is about a progression between Caernarfon and Baladeulyn, a total of 20 days. Does this indicate merely the transit time between the two points, or also the time stayed at what was, in this case, an ultimate destination at Baladeulyn (Edward I known to be there for three weeks in June)?

    Many thanks.

    Royton Manor had a #mediaeval chapel at one time, which may be where the #door was, or it might have been the entrance to the main house, which later became a farmhouse.

    The tiny diagonal lines used for shading in this #engraving made it fun to clean up with #GIMP

  10. The Bridge at Baysdale: A Relic of a Lost Priory

    This bridge in Baysdale is more than a quaint curiosity. Its single arch spans Black Beck with quiet dignity, yet the quirky little parapets give it certain character. These are later additions, added in the seventeenth or eighteenth century by someone with a flair for decoration but little se ...

  12. The Ancient Hollow-Way to Nowhere in Particular

    The Public Bridleway from the hamlet of Urra winds its way up to another Right of Way that follows Billy’s Dyke, that Bronze Age boundary fortification of earth and stone. This grand construction supposedly gets its name from Billy Norman, better known elsewhere as William the Conqueror, ...

  13. The Nuns’ Well: The Last Remains of St Andrews Priory

    The so-called Nuns’ Well in Ryedale is a peculiar sight, sitting incongruously among the trees. A perfect circle, 2.4 metres across, with a stepped stone base and sides, it is thought to be medieval. Its water, fed by springs, is clear enough to impress those easily impressed by such things. It lies due north of the site of the Benedictine ...

  14. A Dreary Day, a Doubtful Saint, and Too Much Christmas

    A dreary, cold day, though mercifully not freezing, but with rain looming. St. Thomas’ Day Eve—dedicated to the patron saint of doubt—drapes itself in the sort of gloom that makes you wonder why you bothered to look out the window. That housing estate west of Guisborough in today’s photo? I had been blind to its charms until no ...

  15. From Leprosy to Ropewalks: The Forgotten History of Spital Beck

    A tired old fishing boat, its hull a faded patchwork of blue and white, sits abandoned on the shingles at Whitby harbour, marooned by the tide and neglect. It has not tasted the sea in years. This sad tableau, no doubt, repeats itself in harbours all around our coast. In the background, a jumble of red-tiled buildings line the shore, framed by ...

  16. The Aiggin Stone: a Resilient Guidepost of Blackstone Edge

    On a damp, somewhat joyless morning, we embarked on a foray up Blackstone Edge, detouring briefly from the misery of the M62 to scale this Pennine hill. Past the summit trig. point and “Robin Hood’s Bed”—an erratic boulder unceremoniously perched there as though in mockery—we came upon the Aiggin Stone, a relic with pretensions of history that some mig ...

  17. Kildale’s Wet Dig

    And so the rains came to St. Hilda’s chapel, bringing a somewhat damp close to the archaeological dig season in picturesque Kildale. What mysteries lie behind those enigmatic stone footings — which bear more than a passing resemblance to a garden feature than to any sacred structure — must now remain hidden for yet another year. The grandly dubbed ‘cloisters,’ a few len ...

  18. The Overlords of Kildale

    Park Nab, a smallish sandstone crag, much favoured by the climbing fraternity, who no doubt delight in the view over Kildale—suggested by some to be the dale of a forgotten Viking named Killi. Perhaps he might be one of those unfortunate Norsemen discovered inconveniently buried under the church floor during the 1868 rebuild. Quite fitting for a village where the church tower shyly peek ...
