It has been a VERY long time since I opened an exam paper I chose a career without them .... But even I can remember the feeling of trepidation. It must have been a dreadful feeling

Hey @5minmedievalist.bsky.social I was listening to your podcast on Athelstan today and when your guest mentioned his tomb I was passing Malmesbury. I was there on Wednesday. The head is not the original, that was destroyed in the Civil War

You mentioned Lovecraft and Dunwich. I assume you are aware of his story The Dunwich Horror? Set alas in America. The ghost story writer and medieval historian M.R James wrote a story based there Whistle and I'll come to you my lad. It is an atmospheric place there are ruins of a leper chapel
