This is AD Nord 1 G 194/1003 AKA ARTEM 367 (telma.irht.cnrs.fr/outils/origi...) AKA DiBe 3821 (www.diplomata-belgica.be/charter_deta...), which has been ruling my life for a couple of weeks now.
In theory, it's a 1024 act of Count Baldwin IV of Flanders for Saint-Amé in Douai - IF it's authentic.

On #allsaintsday (and now that I've recovered from working to accommodate double the anticipated attendance!) the Night Office for the Vigil of All Saints at Southwell Minster went off amazingly last night. Especial thanks to the choristers, whose appearance at the 8th antiphon was the highlight!
