If you are feeling that you are missing out on the London International Palaeography School, it is not too late to book for Birmingham…
This history of elements of modern #Loughborough is another of our forthcoming attractions.
It will include the amazingly involved branches of protestant nonconformity, the cultural expressions of the town's many migrant communities, druids, and - of course - sport.
Lots of sport. #Skystorians
Have used the Victoria County History for decades. Any opportunity to bring its excellent work to people’s attention. Not on the payroll - just a fan.
This fascinating preview of our next #BigRedBook on Yorkshire's East Riding shows how we can connect the built environment with the documented history of a region, in this case, the Yorkshire Wolds at Nunburnholme. 🗃️

Did you know archives are about much more than family and house history? Archives are vital for holding governments and organisations to account, proving citizen rights, preserving community memory and contributing to the wellbeing of individuals and society.

Congratulations to all involved. We understand a little of the commitment required - our VCH history of Loughborough (only post 1750 and only social and cultural history at the moment) is "just" 100,000 words but has kept us occupied for what seems like ages. Out later this year. Watch this space.
The church of St James, Nunburnholme (East Riding) may look a bit on the ordinary side but it houses several symbolic mysteries, such as the imagery of its famous Anglo-Scandinavian cross pillar. But VCH East Riding Vol XI (in press) had to deal with another, its eccentric tower arch. 1/5

Obviously intriguing stuff in church at Nunburnholme,Yorks, E Riding - not just its early medieval cross shaft. Place to look for both will be Victoria County History vol 252, now with publisher, expected 2027. @vch-home.bsky.social is foundation stone of English local history. Congratulations!
Right.
That's TWO @vch-home.bsky.social #BigRedBooks submitted to our friends @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social in the last few days, one for the East Riding of Yorkshire, focused on the town of #Pocklington, and the second for #Oxfordshire on the area to the south and west of Chipping Norton. 🗃️
