St Mary’s Haddington 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has some remarkable medieval oak timbers in the nave roof. My #dendrochronology work there dated them to the early 1400s and revealed them as Baltic baulks from the Gdansk region. #MedievalMonday

#MedievalMonday & the immense Raglan Castle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 from our trip this weekend

Nature, the mistress of all life,
Commands the maid to be a wife.
Not for love, nor joy, nor grace—
But to ensure the human race.

Passage from "Romance of the Rose" 1275

stopping off in Dover yesterday & while we weren't there for the castle specifically, had forgotten just how much it imposes over the town

#MedievalMonday & very exciting to catch this yesterday

Roche Rock, #Cornwall - not a lot known about the chapel other than its dedication to St Michael in 1409

Bristol, Abbot's Gatehouse c. 1170

These are certainly what are known as 'beakheads' in Romanesque/Norman carvings but I've never seen ones with what look like antlers, making them more akin to moose. Beautiful whatever they represent. Appreciated by @CathyRosamundLowe as well.

#MotteMonday with Castle Mound, Cambridge
one of three castles built across the east of England in late 1068 by William the Conqueror

#MedievalMonday #Norman

Oxford Castle & its Motte , built by the Norman baron Robert D'Oyly from 1071 to 1073

#MotteMonday with Lewes Castle standing out at the top of the town

#MedievalMonday

For #MedievalMonday here’s the 13th Century South West Gatehouse at Corfe Castle, leading from the outer Bailey to the West Bailey.
Worn grooves in the paving show extensive use (presumably by cart wheels), and the difference, or offset, in height of the towers/gateway arch show the extent of explosives used to destroy the castle in the 17th Century #Dorset #MotteMonday #Archaeology #Heritage #Medieval
