@rosiecameronn @ThreeChoirs It really is. She was a Victorian free thinking radical woman.

Really enjoying latest @ThreeChoirs project, researching the #Cheltenham background of Alice Parsons, librettist of Samuel Coleridge Taylor's 'The Atonement ' composed for the 1903 Festival

So far in 1066:

• Edward the Confessor has died.
• Harold Godwineson has been named king instead of Edgar Ætheling.
• Edward has been buried.
• Harold has been crowned.

It's still only 6 January.

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

@rosiecameronn I rely on its archive for @ThreeChoirs research.

[Librarian @WorcCathLibrary]

An early 12th century service book was re-used and inadvertently saved when a paper valuation of the monastery's property at the time of the dissolution in 1540-1541 was protected by using a few folios of the old manuscript. (WCM C871)

[Librarian @WorcCathLibrary]

A letter from King Charles I in 1642 to the newly promoted Bishop of Worcester ordering him to give up his canon's place at Christchurch Oxford and the rectory of Ewelme, because the King has someone else to take over as reader of divinity at Oxford (WCM D21).

What a great correspondence on handwriting this has been

@hantsfanpodcast The podcasts are brilliant. Thank you so much for organising them. Much appreciated!

[Simon Carpenter @simonbdc]

@Sairy_Fairy19 That can't be great. Am thinking of you. Both my parents went without warning which was/is tough in its own way as it has made processing the losses pretty much impossible. Treasure your remaining time with him. I'm sure you will!

@HelloFromMarcus Well said @hellofrom
