Spent the afternoon at St Mildred's Church as part of the Canterbury Medieval Pageant 2025 — pilgrim songs, pilgrim shells, and beautiful surroundings. #CKHH #HistoryMatters
A large medieval church window. Most of the glass is plain, interlaced with lead calmes. In the centre of the window is a kneeling stained glass figure of a female saint dressed in blue. The name below the figure is 'st mildred'.

Another fascinating day at #GMS2025 comes to an end by celebrating book launches on medieval animals and reconsidering consent and coercion in medieval literature.
In a large lecture theatre, five women are gathered around a small coffee table engaged in discussion in front of an audience. Behind them is a large screen displaying the cover of a book. The book's title is: 'Reconsidering Consent and Coercion - Power, Vulnerability, and Sexual Violence in Medieval Literature'.

Had a great time at Prof Rachel Koopmans' workshop today @cburycathedral.bsky.social with fellow #CKHH and @memsunikent.bsky.social peeps, reading miracles of Thomas Becket. Great opportunity to explore the use of space, and getting a chance to look at the stained glass in detail!
