A beautiful ceremony yesterday in Canterbury, for the reception and enthronement of the new archbishop and primate, Sarah Mullally, and a reason for rejoicing.
U2's audacious iconographical use of the Statue of Liberty may be of interest to @jackieeales.bsky.social
Does James, Duke if Monmouth count, son of a king and executed 1685?
The debate here actually seems relatively measured! More than one can sometimes say about these questions…
It's a great listen! Already engendering lots of ... comments on our Facebook post about it.
Thanks, do you have a link to the page?
Greatly enjoyed recording this!
Very moving, and as the saying goes - 'when America sneezes, the UK catches a cold', that's why we are so concerned here.
Yes, done that. Conrad Russell told me to expect it while he struck a match and lit a cigarette in his office.
And a very generous scholar to younger academics.

Well, I wonder how many politicians read History Today? @historytoday.com
Woman ever so carefully selecting her fruit while saleswoman (and cat) struggle to remain patient. By Louise Moillon, 1631. Today is her day.
Agreed, just as long as it doesn't happen too often.
I use voice recognition software, it keeps changing Walloons to balloons.
There is still a regular French service in Canterbury cathedral crypt where the original Walloon immigrants worshipped.
From Wallonia in southern Belgium.
Sounds right to me, is she related to Canterbury’s French speaking community?
I have been contacted by several local people descended from Canterbury’s original French speaking immigrant community. They have been very helpful with my research project.
Too early for me! Early Modern is circa 1500-1800.
Similar in Norwich. Strangers Hall is named for them.
“in 1582 there were 4,678, roughly a third of the city's population.”

I am currently working on a research project into Canterbury’s French speaking, early modern Walloon Community. It's been calculated that in the early 17th C they numbered between 2-3,000, or a third of the city's population. They were mainly weavers of wool and later of silk.

Always a pleasure to see the Tatterjacks perform during the festive period #urbanmorris
Well I am glad someone understands English tenses. How many are there and do we use them all?
I am researching Canterbury's French speaking community from c1570s-1800, but this map looks like the whole of East Kent was French speaking!
Sorry just found the full thread!
