Woow! Though hardly a Roman Fort, more simplified version of a Roman Mile Castle from Hadrian's Wall.

The cueing system at the BM is going to be on overload, but I wonder what the French will make of our small pile of bling?

The scale of the loans seems quite out of balance. The whole of the Sutton Hoo treasure could easily fit in the average living room and the Chessmen only take up the area of … a chess board. 70 metres of linen on the other hand requires a lot more space.

In return, the British Museum is lending some of its treasures, namely the Sutton Hoo Treasure and the Lewis Chessmen. It is unclear where these will be displayed, but the Louvre Museum seems likely.

Currently, the Tapestry is exhibited in the Musée de la Tapisserie in Bayeux and hasn’t left France since it was first brought there. However, in the summer/autumn of 2026, it will be travelling to London to be put on temporary display in the Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery in the British Museum.

A 70 metre (230 foot) long cartoon strip recounting the events leading up to and including the Battle of Hastings of 14th October 1066.

It’s Coming Home … the Bayeux Tapestry is returning to England. 950 years after it was embroidered somewhere in Kent, the world’s most famous tapestry, that isn’t a tapestry, is returning to its country of origin.

I had forgotten how much I used to love creating technical drawings. Here is some of my project work for Aberystwyth Uni - the Great Hall at Ightham Mote, Kent.

Did you know that the famous Sarsen Trilithons were not the first such structure at Stonehenge? There were much smaller Bluestone trilithons too, erected at or somewhere else centuries beforehand. Here is one of the bluestone lintels to prove it.

Great thanks James. I'm retired now, so more time for archaeology. Did you get to knap that flint nodule you found up on the downs? What was the outcome?

DSLR and macro lens is by far the quickest way, but I also have loads of negatives to digitise too. In fact I still shoot a lot on analogue film! So I use a dedicated slide scanner (PlusTek 8200i) which gives great results, including colour correction, but scans take 2mins on average per image...

Nigel Sadler @nasadler.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Go on then. What do you use your slide library for? I'm slowly digitising all mine...
