Now @Distourbled is talking about the (fascinating!) @WhitsGift project she is working with colleagues at Kent and the process of applying for this #postdoc on a group project. The project sounds so good it reminds me of my early UG flirtation with becoming a medievalist...!

Guess who is back in @bodleianlibs ?! Hannah, currently (and very handily) located in Oxford, has been getting stuck into the archives on the hunt for our corpus of MSS - read about it in our latest blog post here: blogs.kent.ac.uk/whittington… #medievaltwitter #BackintheBod

Found by fellow mudlark Tommy a couple of weeks ago, I was lucky to be one of the first people to see this. It's a medieval pewter pilgrim badge in the form of St Thomas Becket, whose shrine at Canterbury was one of the most visited in the country @No1Cathedral #mudlarking
