Like many early medievalists (maybe?), I’m a Gregory the Great fan, & today is his feast. Here’s a favorite portrait in ivory from the 10th c, now in Vienna. The bird on his shoulder represents the Holy Spirit. The detail is so fine you can see stubble on his cheeks

#MonumentsMonday in St Mark's, Englefield. My eye was caught by the swan (right). Detail from memorial to John Powlet, 5th Marquess of Winchester (d. 1675).

Good morning everyone! My IT chaos somewhat tamed now, I'll be mostly tweeting new photos from my CatherineRosamundLowe account CatherineRosamundLowe, so please join me there if rusty boot scrapers are to your taste. Captain Science #FerrousFriday from King's Parade, Cambridge.🧡

A glimpse of the poetry of the spruced up and somewhat shabby. Lovely!
