Historia Somnum Caseus. #TheTwitterMouse, a mainly medieval mouse. Archaeology, architecture and all things history. Love a scamper around an old building.

The year is 1213 and the very first incarnation of the now omnipresent "Where's Wally" is released. A much more intensive production than the current easily printed books, no one ever found Wally. What a waste of time and glass that was! TTM🐭

It wasn't just the now reformed Oasis that nicked their act from the Beetles, The Pussycat Dolls did the same thing. Notice how Nicole (middle of the five) had surgery to make her look exactly like a young Paul McCartney. Even stole the haircuts. Disgraceful TTM🐭

Piscina. South wall. Chancel #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire #MasonryMonday Uneasy. Claimed as C13, basin and chamfered arch recess are unlikely to have started their respective lives together. Bearing in mind the chancel is a C19 ground up rebuild this is probably a #FrankenPiscina

Piscina basin with drain #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire #MasonryMonday Monday is a notoriously slow day for Mouse and this is as good as it gets from this church. For those who like this kind of thing (which is Mouse). Surround and basin made together, right?

As empty in death as in life #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire A solitary (rather delicately carved) memorial tablet adorns the walls of the church, sadly marking the end of a family line #MonumentMonday #MementoMoriMonday

This Tweet just appeared in Mouse's timeline (glad it went well John Marshall) and it is the best example of deep nominative determinism ever. This PhD is Marshall's assemblage about the Marshal Assemblage (pretty sure it took a lot of thought). Worth a lifetime of waiting TTM🐭

Mouse totally in awe of the kind of historical knowledge North Ages has. But now unable to disassociate the Kentish people with pottery named for Brian. Too much Playschool Mouse guessing TTM🐭

"A bit made up by the Victorians" is a brilliant phrase that covers much Gothic-revival and much C19 revisionist history. Should be a hashtag albeit a long one TTM🐭

Tower of #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire (Part I) #TowerTuesday 3-stage south-eastern tower with diagonal buttresses. 2-light window with C15-style 4-centred lights to lower stage. A curiously positioned tiny square-headed window sits just below the string course #TinyWindowTuesday

Chancel tiles around altar #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire #TilesOnTuesday Mouse like these a lot. The blue is particularly rich. Mouse thinking 'mildly vibrant' C19 tile

West window #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire #TraceryTuesday The merest trace of tracery. Apart from this Perpendicular(-style) 4-light window the remainder are square-headed C16 onwards. The cusping seems finely carved along with thin mullions but this style is not to Mouse's taste

Tower of #StMaryHomington #Wiltshire (Part II) #TowerTuesday The tower is listed as early C17 but there are differences in building style from the first two stages and the bell stage. The string course below, battlemented parapet with string course suggest bell stage only is C17
