[CHURCH GOING with Andrew Ziminski FSA & SPAB 🇺🇦 @natchjourneyman]

The font at Bridekirk, Cumbria with its Anglo/Norse runes read something like "Rikarth he made me and brought me to this splendour". So not only do we know the name of the mason/carver but also what he looked like from his 'selfie' where he is busy with mallet & (huge) chisel.

Gorgeous Saxon herringbone masonry at Southrop church Gloucestershire.

@aidywintersgill Nice to see craftspeople using traditional mortars in North Wales.
What aggregate have you gone for?
Are you applying just the base coat hot?

[Dr Tim Meek @TimMeek8]

Functional cherry cocking; hairy mortar. Left bits of tile, stone and where the joint gets narrow, jamming in slate. Hairy mortar folds around the cherry. Top right; jamming cracks. Btm right; ruled flush finish. Still damp. Needs redder sand. Get the idea?

The 15C detached chapel at Bury Barton (perhaps the best collection of historic and vernacular buildings in Devon, dating from early 14C to late 19C). Original wagon roof. Fine quality medieval rubblestone masonry, oak-framed doorway. #VirtualVernacular

A pre-historic mattock or #Thames pick I found on last night's v low tide on the banks of the river. Either Mesolithic, Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Made from deer antler, the handle was bound via the hole creating a pick-like tool. Recording #mudlarking #mudlark #archeology

[Dr Tim Meek @TimMeek8]

Left, lime bollocks, right flush finished and ruled. Ffs it’s even got the freaking lime inclusions you get so worked up about. And the new works grant aided

@BarryHambly @Rebecca52731232 Often found on stonework under hessian and enjoying living in amongst the crevices of stone walls, I thought I heard something about the calcium carbonate in lime mortar for their shells? (Did I just say that out loud)

Nicholas Evans 1907-2004 b. Aberdare, Wales, self taught artist, a miner at 13, he left the pits after his father’s death in a mining accident, a tragedy which alongside a subsequent spiritual conversion shaped a prodigious & remarkable artistic output following his retirement.

@williamaskinne1 Has this void weathered hollow? Will you essentially be using flint aggregate with a hotmixed lime stabalished earth?
