We recently were gifted a wildlife camera as we love birdwatching... here are some of the highlights so far 👌

It was so much fun! Thank you for having me on your podcast!

"sometimes annoying men have to be sacrificed to the devil" and other highlights soon in my @tropenhaus.bsky.social episode with the lovely, funny, wicked @g0blinegg.bsky.social - it was such a delight

Whenever I go church crawling, I obsessively look for graffiti. Recently, in All Saints Church, Claverley, I hit the jackpot when I found this fantastic little guy ✨️

The 'Bayeux Tapestry of England'.

All Saints Church, Claverley, houses a remarkable 13th-century wall painting of over 15 metres. Its rare depiction of knights makes it unique in Britain. Thought to show the battle of Vices and Virtues, it is truly remarkable.

At St. Edith's, Eaton under Heywood, there is the most wonderful apotropaic marking I've seen. The "W" or "VV" symbol, linked to the Virgin Mary, was believed to invoke her protection. Post-Reformation, it remained a powerful apotropaic sign.

I love the sound of your podcast! Sounds so interesting!

I'm so tempted to get him tattooed...

Some examples of the folliate heads found in St Edith's church, Eaton under Heywood, Shropshire. Aren't they wonderful?

The Nave roof dates from the 15th century and the chancel roof about 1600. This is such a remarkable church!

The ancient yew tree in All Saints' churchyard, Claverley, is remarkable and estimated to be around 2,500 years old. I cannot help but wonder what this historic tree has borne witness to. The tree's existence could also hint at the area being a potential pre-Christian sacred space.

I had a powerful day at the archives. Handwritten folklore accounts, local tales and an account of a witch trial from 1649. Her crime? Herbalism. I felt such a strong sense of sadness for her. There is such a humanity in social history. I love being a folklorist 💚
