The Gower Street Waterstones is always one of my first stops in London 📚 One of these days I hope to walk in and see my own book in this section 🥰

I’m baaaaaaack I’ve had my reader pass renewed in record time and it’s just a matter of minutes before I’m reunited with my manuscripts 🥲

We're a week out from Oct so I'm obligated to post everyone's fav medieval bat. It's easy to see why this little guy has won my bat poll every year BUT did you know this ms page also includes a practice-bat? The sketch is adorable, too 🦇 British Library Harley MS 3244, fol 55v

I am *really* excited to get back to London for the first time since Covid began and even *MORE* excited to get back to medieval manuscripts but man, leaving my heart at the security gate was tough. I’m not sure who cried more, me or the toddler

On 20 September 1486, in St Swithun's Priory, Winchester, Elizabeth of York gave birth to a child who, it was hoped, would herald the dawning of a new golden age of peace and prosperity for England. By his father Henry VII, the boy was christened Arthur.

I finally got to see this very old cat door 🐈‍⬛ According to Exeter Cathedral, the cat door was cut for the Bishop's cat to catch mice, between 1598 & 1621 🚪 Records show that a cat was paid 1d per week in food when on mouse/rat catching duties 🐀

Will be using this fun fact in the future!

My favourite piece of historical trivia is that in 1483, Richard III faced rebellion from TWO men called Henry who both had a mother named Margaret Beaufort. Henry Tudor, son of Margaret Beaufort, and Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, son of an altogether different Margaret Beaufort!

Like many of us, I’ve migrated here from The Other Place. I am VERY relieved to see that this is essentially The Other Place circa 2012. I was worried I’d have to learn a whole new social media site 😅 very happy that that is not the case!
