Five years on from @henrydodds disgracing himself before deleting it from shame and fear of the turnip eaters he’d roused. #suffolk @DrFrancisYoung @TrooperSnooks

Kateryn the Quene Regente KP.

I really like coming across signatures in the archives. Catherine Parr very likely signed this document in the brief period after the death of Henry VIII when she was hoping to be appointed as regent to Edward VI

Picked up this absolute gem in my local charity bookshop today.
Highly recommended if you have in interest in early 19c Newcastle & nearby pit villages - not all medical by any means.

I’ve been walking up to the Med School for 14 years and only just noticed this plaque.

Two additions to the personal library this evening. Long may the fightback against the institutional and scholarly neglect of Scottish place-names continue, Simon Taylor in particular is one of the country’s silent heroes & merits wider recognition for his work & achievements!

@TyneSnapper Aha, just to muddy the water!

In medieval calendars, the usual scene to represent the month of June is people cutting the grass - in varying states of undress.
