i also found these inside another church:
#medieval #mural #MedievalArt

a rusty colour wall painting of some religious figures an a horse. on the left one of the figures is holding something round and maybe a staff, like a bishop or something. figures on top right maybe a mother and child. part of a leaded church window visible on the right. I just searched it up -> "The St Eligius picture. Eligius is the patron saint of goldsmiths and silversmiths "
view from the chancel through small arches at more paintings. one is a lady holding a figure in some scales - "the weighing of the souls scene you can just make out the image of St George in his armour."
a painting of an angel. these paintings are very faded and a bit flakey. they were slapped on about 600 years ago and not been touched since. anyway the angel is on an arch and there is part of another painting of st.Christopher on the wall behind.
a proper view of the weighing of souls scene.

#SilentSunday Coombes, #WestSussex Noted for its extensive medieval wall paintings, some as early as 1120. #photography

A single cell stone church set on sloping ground. A porch covers the entrance on the left (south) side. A number of randomly remaining gravestones standing in dry summer grass. Overhanging trees on the left side and in the background.

#harvest

a medieval limestone font with flowers in the bowl. And fruit mostly apples around the plinth. some wooden chairs aside the font. it was a dimly lit corner of the church so i shined my torch but the picture is still noisy, tho i would not call the snap shite imo. looks like they still have harvest festival here. it was a big thing in rural UK when i was a kid. fucking long time ago now, lol

Dutch scholar completes landmark translation of Samguk Yusa - The Korea Times A few decades ago, Korean studies was often treated as an afterthought and viewed as a sub-discipline to Chinese and Japanese studies. Today, a landmark complete English translation of one of Korea’s most important medieval texts is proving how dynamic and indispensable Korean history is to the global literary landscape. At the heart of this milestone is Remco Breuker, a professor of Korean Studies at Leiden Unive…

#ScribesAndMakers 8/22: "Fantasy stories are frequently inspired by medieval societies. Why do you think people are fascinated by that time period?"
Elite propaganda.
Medieval knights were a bloodthirsty elite. Armour allowed them to cut down commoners with relative impunity, and they did. The myth of the 'parfait gentil knicht' is entirely propaganda.

Two books from my research shelf: 'The History of the English Longbow' by Donald Featherstone, and 'The Use of Medieval Weaponry' by Eric Lowe. Both of these I'd recommend.
My own home-made longbow, with its quiver and arrows, and my practice longsword.

On biotech and neurotech in China, Q3 2026 milan.cvitkovic.net/china_note

Notes from China, Q3 2026
Context: I recently spent 2.5 weeks in China visiting universities, research institutes, clinical sites, companies of all sizes, and investors. Most meetings focused on biotech, neurotech, and AI. Conventional wisdom my trip corroborated US cities feel medieval compared to Chinese cities. I was expecting the cleaner, safer, greener cities with better trains, EVs, consumer electronics, etc. But I was surprised that Chinese cities didn’t feel bleak. I thought that would be the required tradeoff…

another missing door for #doorsDay
i seem to have a lot of snaps of bricked up doorways.

a pointed arch doorway at the bottom of a limestone rubble medieval church tower. the bottom third of the bricked up bit is made of large limestone blocks. some of the look red, like they were once part of a furnace or fireplace. then the top two thirds is made of red brick, looks like proper old Tudor red brick, or even older, they are not very deep in thickness.

Me hace mucha "gracia" cuando los protaurinos dicen que hay que defender los toros porque Goya pintó cuadros de toros. Gracia porque acto seguido pienso en las pinturas negras, en "los desastres de la guerra" o en un cuadro en el que unos aldeanos estšn apostando para que el tonto del pueblo se folle a un caballo (sí, eso existe y estš en el Prado) y pienso ¿realmente quieren usar ese argumento?
Edito: me ha costado encontrarlo, pero aquí estš el cuadro.

La era o El Verano - Colección
El verano, escena dedicada a la diosa Ceres en las interpretaciones tradicionales de las Cuatro Estaciones, se representa aquí ante la imponente mole de un castillo medieval como el descanso de los segadores en el campo, después de la cosecha del trigo, reunido ya en gavillas.

My teenage son has been taking classes to learn how to fight... medieval style. He's been attending classes at a local #HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) Academy. Its pretty cool and so much more involved than the LARPing I was doing as a kid.
And maybe its just our local club, but most the kids are visually queer. Lots of rainbows, pronouns, even a furry. While its great to see these kids find a safe place, its also good to know that the next generation can defend us from the barbarian horde (aka MAGA).
Anyone else here into historically accurate fighting?

an old church doorway hoodmould label stop carving of a persons head, in a pale limestone. the doorway is inside an old porch so this is even older than the porch. the church dates back to the 13th century.
