@cathamclarke.bsky.socialJust noting that all #TeamHarold supporters have great hair 😉😘
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialThe above reply was from me, obviously. The entire @chppc.bsky.social has not (sadly) declared for #TeamHarold...
@chppc.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialLet's see some more @sasnews.bsky.social colleagues declaring their allegiance... Here's a bunch of #TeamHarold supporters! Visit our #BayeuxTapestry archiving project and get involved - be part of history! tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry
@chppc.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialOur colleague Andrew comes out for #TeamHarold. Apparently, it's all about the hair... Get involved and share your #BayeuxTapestry story with us at tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry. Are you #TeamWilliam or #TeamHarold? #tache #moustache #hair
@chppc.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialOur @sasnews.bsky.social / @ies-sas.bsky.social colleague @laurajcleaver.bsky.social declaring for #TeamWilliam here. Brutal. Share your #BayeuxTapestry story to our archive: tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry #UoLTapestry
@chppc.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialAt the @sasnews.bsky.social Festival of Research, we asked visitors and colleagues to pick #TeamWilliam or #TeamHarold and take a sticker. We're launching a project to archive stories about the #BayeuxTapestry. Find out more at tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry. Whose team is @graffitiginger.bsky.social on?
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialAh apparently I can't message you. Could you send me a message, please?
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialMessaging you now
@vch-home.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialNew (draft) text now available!
Thanks to Professor Nicholas Orme, we are pleased to share draft texts of around 40 medieval monastic and religious foundations in #Devon which will form part of our second volume on the county in due course.
All comments/corrections gratefully received. 🗃️
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialNB It's definitely Harold with an 'o' 😁
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialI'm #TeamHarold all the way - but what about you? Feel free to re-use and share our #TeamWilliam & #TeamHarold badges, to declare your allegiance! And please visit our archiving project to tell us: 'What does the #BayeuxTapestry mean to you?' Be part of history! #UoLTapestry tinyurl.com/UoLTapestry
@cathamclarke.bsky.social😊😘
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialYes! I actually bought the fabric from Liberty - the fabric is a Liberty / British Museum collaboration. The skirt was made for me by a talented lady in Bournemouth.
@cathamclarke.bsky.social#TeamHarold! I'm in my #BayeuxTapestry skirt today and taking sides... Come and visit us at the @sas-news.bsky.social Festival of Research today: pick #TeamWilliam or #TeamHarold, take a sticker and tell us your Bayeux Tapestry story!

@cathamclarke.bsky.socialThis is either the opening of an M R James story, or something more... X-rated?
@adamchapman.bsky.socialReposted by @cathamclarke.bsky.socialSo exciting to be able to share thee updates on new VCH projects (@vch-home.bsky.social might be over 125 years old, but it's always doing something *new*), from medieval religious houses, via the streets of Soho, the Isle of Purbeck and much, much more. 🗃️
@cathamclarke.bsky.socialAbsolutely brilliant to see our VCH project not only thriving but growing - after almost 130 years! Thank you to Adam and Ruth as Co-General Editors, and to everyone bringing so much energy and vision to these new local projects.
