Last night I went to a lovely concert of medieval carols. However I was in the most uncomfortable seating and absolutely freezing.
I don't think I will be returning to the pianodrome+ just have seats. They work and at least warn people there is no heating

This deed of King Richard III from January 1485 came to us on deposit earlier this year. It's granting Sir James Tyrell (yes, that one!) the Lieutenancy of Guines Castle in the Marches of Calais. This meant he didn't take part in the Battle of Bosworth. #EYAMedieval

This St Andrew's Day, it is worth noting that it's also the anniversary of the Battle of Culblean (1335). This lesser-known battle of the Scottish civil war/Second Scottish War of Independence was arguably pivotal. See more about it below... #medievalsky #ScottishHistory #StAndrewsDay

In what world would anyone think they would be allowed any kind of contact with the pupils in this context?.
This is nonsense and surely the people protesting must know that.
