I've expanded the evidence for pseudo #heraldry in my 2022 paper on historic church #graffiti and #medieval personal seals and it's available on my academia page (link in bio) 🙂

[Medieval Graffiti @MedievalG]

Walter was a very bad boy…
A Latin inscription from a church in Hertfordshire. The transcription is ‘Walter (con) Ba iii dedit annuatin sub pena excomunicatus majore’. It roughly translates as ‘Walter is to give annually 3 (somethings) under penalty of great excommunication’.

@NIPilgrim @WorcsArchSoc Not a site I know, but sounds interesting 🙂

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

Lovely to speak to @WorcsArchSoc tonight about my research into historic #graffiti and #medieval seals. Thanks for having me and for the great questions and comments 🙂

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

@SarahBlick3 @WorcsArchSoc There are certainly some similarities, yes! The paper is on my academia page if you want to have a look. I'd be interested in your thoughts 🙂.

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

@SarahBlick3 @WorcsArchSoc Always happy to chat about seals and/or graffiti 🙂

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

@Elbbirgemporium Very nice, thank you 🙂

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

@southcoastwhite @WhitworthArt @McrMuseum I've not been but it's certainly on my list for the future, it looks amazing!

[Vicky Fletcher @VickyCFletcher]

So grateful for beautiful and engaging places like @WhitworthArt and @McrMuseum I can visit with my daughter whilst she is having hospital treatment in #Manchester. Access to #art and #heritage brings us happiness in very hard times ♥️. It's value is immeasurable.
