Like many early medievalists (maybe?), Iโm a Gregory the Great fan, & today is his feast. Hereโs a favorite portrait in ivory from the 10th c, now in Vienna.
The bird on his shoulder represents the Holy Spirit. The detail is so fine you can see stubble on his cheeks

Brithdir's bench carvings are wonderfully conceived and executed. Just 3" or so high, the Kingfisher perched in reeds with a catch is a delight. Trasks of Norton sub Hamdon did the work #ArtsandCrafts #woodensday

It wasn't! The whole place is firmly anchored. The weight is at the lower parts and it gets lighter as it goes up. Theme echoed in the fittings.

#gravedigging in Copenhagen's Assistens Cemetery: a favorite tomb to Neoclassical sculptor Johannes Wiederwelt 1731-1802, by his friend Andreas Weidenhaupt. Tragic end involving the sinking of shipment of marble... I salute him.

The Cathedral's font, standing at 12m high, is one of the tallest in the UK. Made in the 1660s, the font's spectacular carved wooden cover includes doves to symbolise the holy spirit #FactFriday

#SteepleSaturday at Earl Stonham, Suffolk. Is there anything to gladden the heart like finely detailed flint flushwork against a clear blue sky?
