A beautiful piece of Portland stone which is full of light and the memory of sea and bone. My walks take me through seasons and time but often see my return to one place. The dandelion symbolises time so perfectly. This block can be turned ( unlike time itself) #carving #memory

One of the artefacts going on display in the #WaterTower is this unique #AngloSaxon #sundial, made of gold & silver. It was found in the Cloister garth in 1938 during works funded by the Cathedral Friends & was previously exhibited as part of #BLAngloSaxons @britishlibrary CA

The Rosetta Stone was discovered #onthisday in 1799. It’s regarded as one of the most important ancient Egyptian objects ever found, and was the key to deciphering hieroglyphs ow.ly/QNc930p5ouw

'My children, in school, are still copying text and samples, exactly what happened about 2,000 years ago in Egypt' #MakingYourMark curator Peter shows us a school-child’s valiant efforts at writing in ancient Greek. Do you remember having to copy out lines of letters at school?
