@therronwelstead.bsky.socialSt Laurence Church, Ludlow Shropshire.
In 1540, John Leland described the church as “very Fayre and large and richly adorned and taken for the Fayrest in all these parts”. This sentiment still holds true as you can see by the crossing.
If you've not been, it's well worth the trip.

@kpw1453.bsky.socialThe iconic Corfe Castle near Wareham in Dorset - one of the first stone built castles following the Norman conquest. The current remains date from the late 11th century to the 13th century. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #CorfeCastle

@classicalalan.bsky.socialDiscovered (by me, at least) on a sunny cycle in Brittany last month, the Manor of Touche Carné was constructed in the 15th century and has recently been restored. #MedievalMonday
@oz-of-the-ancients.bsky.socialA jackdaw takes flight from the tower of St Vigor in Colombiers-sur-Seulles, a small village in Normandy, France
The tower was built in the Romanesque style and dates to 1096!

@dredhenderson.bsky.socialCalder Abbey in West Cumbria. This was originally a Savigniac monastery founded in 1134. It was refounded in 1142. The ruins are privately owned but I understand that the owner does tours for a fee. Photo from Wikipedia.

@oz-of-the-ancients.bsky.socialThe old site of The Clink, London's most notorious medieval prison! #MedievalMonday
Built in 1144, it was owned by the Bishop of Winchester who could throw people in for heresy or for failing to pay their debts to him
Awful place but... great name for prison 😅

@observethedate.bsky.social@dredhenderson.bsky.socialA delicately painted shield that may have been a gift or a prize in a tournament. It shows a lady wearing a Flemish pointed headdress and a young knight kneeling at her feet. The skeletal figure of Death lurks behind him. Seen in The British Museum.
