In Owthorpe lie Lucy Hutchinson (Order and Disorder, 1679) and her husband, regicide Colonel John Hutchinson @literarybritain.bluesky.social.
In St Margaret’s church the John-Lucy memorial is opposite the (later and rather larger…) memorial to Richard Norton who entertained 4 kings of England

I know there are more important things to say than this but a chinook really does look like a frog mated with a dragonfly

Part of the playbook.

Universities are a threat to fascism. Universities need to survive.

My copy of this delicious book (edited by ThomasClifton and Hannah Yip) arrived today

Dogs have topped and tailed my research trip to The Brotherton, Leeds Uni.

From the start, my work has been overseen by a dalmatian, and in the last item on my list I found this farting dog poem (by William Fairfax, 1593-1621).

Thanks to the wonderful Special Collections team!
