The Hereford Gospels online symposium is on 26 June. It's a free opportunity to hear about this remarkable manuscript from the experts. I'm also pleased to confirm that it will be recorded for those who may not be able to come in real time! www.herefordcathedral.org/Event/herefo...
Monday blues: Bye-bye to Bath Fire Station (1938-39)
How did it come to this? A rare pre-war building by a female architect, Molly Taylor; survived the Baedecker Blitz; located within two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; recommended for listing by C20 & Historic England, yet rejected by DCMS in 2025.
Books I'm looking for an excuse to read...
'Essays showing how the stuff of Norman Sicily, its mosaics, frescoes, art and architecture, was used to construct its history.'
Please: no more entanglement!
[*I'm sure these are good and interesting books but please let's give that word a very long rest.]
