Another #Lincoln #Cathedral trinity. This time shafts on the #door jambs on the West Front. Second quarter #ThirteenthCentury #Stone #Sculpture. #Medieval #Decoration. Would make good #Christmas #WrappingPaper I reckon!
I’m deeply interested in #medieval #church #stone #sculpture that brings outside #nature inside. Early exposure to the incomparable #ThirteenthCentury ‘Leaves’ of Southwell Minster’s Chapter House (https://www.southwellminster.org/theme/leaves-of-southwell/) might explain the obsession. Long story short, thus inspired, here’s my attempt to combine the two. I ❤️ the way the thistle populates the door’s contours. & I ❤️ how the thistle’s radial stems accentuate the semi-circular #Romanesque arch.
Got up close and personal these beauties today. Mid-#ThirteenthCentury wall #painting, Martley #Worcestershire. Exquisite stag, fox, and hare in the #Bestiary tradition. #Medieval #Animals I also recommend the #dragons and the wolf.
A challenge for all #medievodon chums out there (and the rest of you too, of course). Here are some #song #lyrics. What’s the track? So rarely does the #medieval find its way into #music we must celebrate it when it does! I think the #ThirteenthCentury (the long one, of course! Duh!) is one of the most formative in the making of the #English #Landscape.
Reminded by University Challenge’s question about the Great Cause and who would get the Scottish crown in the 13th century. My class studied this early in secondary school in Hawick, drawing up family trees. But none quite as huge as this one I just found! #ScottishHistory #Scotland #Medieval #Royal #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #13thCentury #ThirteenthCentury #SchoolHistory #History #School #Teaching #Education #SecondarySchool #UniversityChallenge #FamilyTrees
