Autumn sun illuminating the font in the wonderful Church of St. Margaret of Antioch, Knotting, Bedfordshire. The rush matting along this section of the walls means that you can sit down without rubbing against them and getting limewash residue on your back! 🤩

Cromarty on Wednesday; we harled this in 1999 & the owners have kept on top of maintenance, espc the Crowsteps. We looked at the archaeology of harl, thickness, detailing and galetting,& how it folded over the details. Nothing fancy or imaginative, just looking at precedent. Seamless architecture.

Don’t you just love the soft, curviness that can be created with lime plaster? 💕 Not to mention all of the functional benefits it brings too, of course! Stamford, Lincolnshire.

Gorgeous Gainsborough Old Hall, Lincolnshire. A little gem - originally a medieval manor house and then home to a merchant family in until the 18th century, after which is was used for various purposes, including a theatre! 🤩

Strangely excited about a charity shop find…saw this in a window & thought it looked like Denby, so went in to investigate & it was! Best £15 I’ve spent for a while! Busy planning what I can cook in it, now that the cosy months are almost upon us 🥰

Kate North @curatorkate.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

A couple of absolutely stunning carvings from Kings College Chapel, Cambridge. The quality is fantastic 🤩 (They had been taken down and were laid out in a side chapel, presumably to have some work done).

A pair of medieval angels ❤️ Saved from the original roof of St. James’ Church in Louth. They now adorn the wall of what has come to be known as the church’s Angel Chapel. Although now bare, it seems highly likely they would have been painted and/or gilded originally.

If you go into the woods here in this part of Cambridgeshire, there’s still lush greenery to be found (plus bonus spaniel!) - so nice to see when everything else has gone yellowy-brown! 💕
