Historical Studies in Witchcraft & Magic. Here's what some of the books I & my co-editors (Jonathan Barry & Yseult de Blecourt) have commissioned over the last 15 years look like on the bookshelf. A profound store of research knowledge. Sorry about the price. Look out for sales.

On this day in 1290, Eleanor of Castile, Queen of England died. Her body was taken from Lincoln to Westminster to be buried and 12 stone crosses were later commissioned to mark the route.

Today's blogpost explores the story of the Eleanor Crosses.

One of the many things we think are weird/gross about the middle ages is the idea of people sharing their homes with animals, especially cattle.

The news is out! I'm thrilled to share that I rediscovered eight 17th-century paper objects made by schoolgirls when @SuttonHouseNT was one of Hackney's many female academies. These paper cuts are an extremely rare example of an art form written about by Hannah Woolley (1/2)
