@markhburton While awaiting the return of digitised manuscripts in full context to the main British Library website, I've just discovered some favourites in their Images Online section: see for example https://imagesonline.bl.uk/search/?searchQuery=Luttrell+Psalter

🎨 #LuttrellPsalter, f161v (East Anglia c.1325-35)

"More than 500 years underground, gone through cleaning, conservation, soaked in wax and freeze-dried - and yet these isotope signatures are still in the timbers... vessels and timber structures that previously didn't date with traditional ring dendrochronology can now potentially be dated with oxygen isotope or stable isotope dendrochronology."

The wine-trading #NewportShip, which sank in the #RiverUsk c.1469, has just returned to #Newport - in 2,500 pieces, after #TimberConservation in Portsmouth by the #MaryRose team. Now to find a site for reassembly & display of this great future tourist attraction! Superb storytelling & imagery in the 3 min video at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64151535
