@jmc_hughy @tnorthernway @pablodiablo74 @skimblejones @keharvey2013 And a fascinating paper from you too!

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

@monarchyconf @_MattFirth_ And a really excellent paper too!

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

@ElizabethCBiggs @boydellbrewer @royalstjournal It's an excellent book which I enjoyed reading, so thank you for all your research!

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

@TheEvensongCup I was expecting this to be a tough choice between the Rose and the Ayleward, but the the Petter - which I'd never heard before - is truly beautiful.

@revdphilippa @IdleConcern A film that's simultaneously dreadful and one of my favourites...

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

Photography isn’t really my forte, but even dodgy photographic skills and dismal weather can’t stop @SalisburyCath from looking splendid.

Was asked to produce a Christmas quiz for a church magazine and (with apologies to Sellar and Yeatman) decided to make it as silly as possible:

Salcath last Christmas. Looks much the same this year.

@mission_priest Anthony Goodman's 'Margery Kempe and her World' is also a lively read (and currently available in Christ Church Library!)

@skimblejones @tnorthernway There will be an assembly at Sherburn before we know it...

@ElizabethCBiggs @DrAdamChapman De Bury would have found some obscure books in which to search for an answer; Bateman would have trotted off to the continent and founded another Cambridge college; Kirkby would have blamed the Scots; and Brinton would have spoken about sin. A lot.

My sincere condolences to his colleagues, friends, and family. May he rest in peace.

I met Mark only once, at the IMC last year, when I was touched by his warmth and encouragement. However, like many others, I have relied on his outstanding scholarship, which has transformed our understanding of Edward III’s reign, and framed much of my own doctoral work.

We are sorry to announce the death of Mark Ormrod, a much loved teacher and colleague who was the first Dean of our Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Read more about Mark's life: https://t.co/WyPq2ZPrtA @YorkHistoryDept

@TheEvensongCup These are all cracking pieces, but the exuberance of the "Let Mount Sion Be Glad" section and the power of its ending means that Great is the Lord wins the day for me

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

@TheEvensongCup While I Was Glad is bombastic, Hear My Words hit-and-miss, and My Soul elegant, Blest Pair of Sirens is simply exquisite.

[Sam @SamuelLane1]

@TheEvensongCup I suspect that these have already been picked, but just to re-iterate how great they are:

Parry, Blest Pair
Elgar, Great is the Lord
Bairstow, Let All Mortal Flesh
Stainer, I Saw the Lord
Wesley, Blessed be the God and Father
Bairstow, Blessed City
Stanford, For Lo I Raise Up

@medievaljuliana The letters of both Petrarch and Edward III, printed and translated in Rosemary Horrox's source collection on the Black Death (pp. 248-50) are fascinating.
