Carved stone boss at intersection of three vault ribs featuring three running rabbits in a triangular arrangement. Three rabbit ears are at the center of the boss, and are arranged so that they can be understood as two ears per rabbit or one.

A quick visit to the Charterhouse Museum today, and found this beauty. Plan of the Charterhouse monastery’s water system circa 1431.
It depicts the water system (pipes, gutters & cisterns) delivering fresh water from nearby wells & springs. #History #Charterhouse #Engineering #15thC #Genealogy

A view across a moat to a garden through an open diamond paned window. To the right there is an arched brick bridge.
#WindowsonWednesday view from the stillroom in our #15thc moat house.
Those are pigs’ bladders hanging up to dry at the top, used whole as useful containers for liquid or as pieces stretched across the top of pots to seal them.

Researching your family tree can turn up the most serendipitous surprises. I was just looking for other Elizabeths when this #15thC ancestress appeared and inspired The Godmother's Secret.

The Cloptons of Kentwell were related to the wool merchant Springs of #Lavenham but were not nearly so rich.
Thomas Spring (c1474-1523) was said to be the richest non-aristocrat of his age, but refused to go to court or get involved in politics….

A child in a white linen coif and black hat leans excitedly out of a diamond paned window in a tumble framed building with brick infill, while his nurse holds onto him.
A #windowsonwednesday view of our #15thc Moat House with a child leaning from the jettied upper floor.
The moat serves as a fishpond for the house and is always teeming with waterfowl.

We had this in the 1461 full immersion #reenactment.
Deliciously moist & tender, preserves flavour & a practical way to bake fish on wood fire w/o fuss & drama of a wood fired oven.
I expect there is sauce in one of those earthenware cooking pots.
