Had a blast last night talking about the Bayeux Tapestry in the befitting setting of Canterbury Cathedral Lodge. Easy to forget what a magnificent place this is! Thanks to @ecroberts.bsky.social for inviting me, and to @memsunikent.bsky.social & @britishacademy.bsky.social for sponsoring the talk!

Make that three! I’ve published three articles with them, all over 15,000 words, and the experience has been excellent every time. NB: they are no longer with CUP but, as of this next issue, with Johns Hopkins UP.
