Sorry I’m late, got a bit carried away chasing people in the Legacies of Slavery data and goggling at the AMAZING Welsh Slate WHS. A slow day here as I have tried to stave off dozing and get on top of my notes on quarrymen in the census. Jolly cold here! #ConfinedCocktails

I wonder if there are other annotations elsewhere in the volume that might identify the collector. Whoever it was, they were interested enough in Wheatley's poetry to acquire this first printing and compare it to the collected poems. www.liveauctioneers.com/item/2338834...

This Book of Hours from Bruges (ms. 1019, c. 1430–1440) features 12 refined half-page miniatures, richly decorated borders, and multiple languages (Latin, Middle French, Middle Dutch). Created in the renowned Bruges “Gold Scrolls” workshop, it later survived the 1940 fire and is now fully digitised.

@swalesrecordsoc.bsky.social Domesday included March Wales, notably in its Gloucestershire entry - available in the great 1980s *Phillimore* & *Alecto* editions. @mappingthemarch.bsky.social @vch-home.bsky.social @adamchapman.bsky.social @dralexcraven.bsky.social @graceowen.bsky.social & others.

Love the commitment to keeping the fragments. In case anyone wanted an illustration that archives aren't solely about accessing content… characteristically brilliant paper by @hsmurphy.bsky.social on the importance of researching the miscellaneous boxes for what exists outside the scheme

There's five districts in Glamorgan (north, east, west, Ogmore, Gower). I was trying to figure out which district the coroner in the Rhondda came under. Turns out that Glamorgan north covers both Rhondda valleys, Cynon valley and Merthyr, so it's massive. They split the work between two men.

The Domesday Survey ordered by William the Conqueror did not include London or Winchester (Latin name, Winton). However, the royal properties in Winchester were recorded around 1110, and the whole city was surveyed for Bishop Henry of Blois in 1148.

Am very supportive of providing oats for stranger gentleman’s horses as in this account from Scotland in 1796. Look after the horses, the strangers can make their own way.

I wonder how the repentant John Rand would have felt knowing that his grovelling petition asking for forgiveness from the City of London was later used as paper to make rough notes? 🤔 📷 COL/CA/05/03, @thelondonarchives.bsky.social

In 1783, a group of Bristol merchants petitioned the king following the hanging of Jenkin Prothero. (Fair warning, this story contains some light gibbeting) E 389/247 [1/5]

Museum jobs in 1826 = waiting for someone to die… maybe that’s the plot of my crime novel…

A fascinating piece by our colleague @cathamclarke.bsky.social juxtaposing the victor’s history in the Bayeux Tapestry with a contemporary written account, The Life of King Edward, which ‘shows us an alternative ending: loss, grief and desolation for the English.’ theconversation.com/the-bayeux-t...

Bit of a long shot but does anyone happen to have access to a copy of an undated letter from Katherine of Aragon to Princess Mary in the British Library's Arundel MS 151 fol. 194r-v? Thank you!

I'm obsessed with this 18th Century signature. Look at it. Ridiculous. (I'm still not 100% sure, but I think it says Sam Wilding)
