The outside of the ruin photographed from an upstairs office window, showing a ruined wall with plants growing up it, including a bright yellow bush.
Base of a column which is now inside the BTO office
Ruins can be seen in the BTO garden in the background, with two trees in the foreground and the corner of the BTO office on the right hand side.
Did you know our BTO HQ in Thetford was once a Benedictine monastery founded in King Canute’s time (1016-1035)? The site was then taken over by Benedictine Nuns & was run as a Nunnery until 1537. The oldest existing remains here date back to the late 12th century.

Bethlem was founded as The Priory of the Order of St Mary of Bethlehem in 1247. The Order disappeared from history in the 1300s, but they gave us our name and our first symbol ⭐ Our star pin is inspired by a medieval manuscript recording activities of the Order bit.ly/bethlemstarpin

This deed of King Richard III from January 1485 came to us on deposit earlier this year. It's granting Sir James Tyrell (yes, that one!) the Lieutenancy of Guines Castle in the Marches of Calais. This meant he didn't take part in the Battle of Bosworth. #EYAMedieval

A handwritten document laid out and held down by snake weights. It is written in Latin, in early modern handwriting. It is possibly a land deed.
While most of our archives are from the 19th century onwards, we do have a few older records, including this #EYAMedieval land deed from 1451! It is written in Latin and relates to Ardingly, which is near where our second site Wakehurst is located. #KewLA

For #EYAMedieval, we've chosen the 12th-century Hunterian Psalter, one of the most magnificent manuscripts from William Hunter’s library. Here's a miniature depicting the Ascension (fo. 4r), an intricate initial B (fol 22r), and a singing goat with an ass playing the harp (fol 88r). [MS Hunter 229]

For #EYAMedieval we bring you an illuminated Church manuscript that was re-used c.16th century to bind Whitchurch parish’s ‘Poor Accounts’. After the Reformation, such manuscripts were sometimes given more 'everyday' purposes. Not quite the preservation we'd have suggested but better than the bin...

Colour illustration of two women in vivid dresses, one blue and the other green. The woman in the blue dress has auburn hair coiled around her ears (Princess Leia-esque) and the women in green has two long plaits of dark brown hair, and extends her left arm behind her in an exaggerated pose. Above them is written 'Sleeping Beauty Scene - Courtiers'.
We're going (quasi) medieval today for #ExploreYourArchive.
This vivid illustration from the early 1900s is for a production of 'Sleeping Beauty', by Madge Atkinson, creator of Natural Movement dance.

Here’s a question for you: why would a medieval manuscript be reprinted almost 400 years after its conception?
As part of #EYAMedieval, we have uncovered the oldest item in our collections, a present from a mysterious Mr. R. Hill.

Green, oval seal with woman in Medieval dress with bird on her arm.
Green, oval seal depicting a lion lying down.
This was the seal of Idonia de Camville, 1250-1252. As a woman, her seal was oval rather than round. It depicts a lady with a bird on her arm and Idonia's heraldic arms; the reverse is of a lion. Read more about seals here: www.royalberkshirearchives.org.uk/galleries/sm... #EYAMedieval

An open manuscript page with staves of music drawn on to them. They are for different dances. Two of the dances are named Talbot 1 and Talbot 2.
Suggestion for a new themed week on #Strictly: medieval dancing! We’re lucky to have this fragile dance manual from the late 15th century in our archives. It contains dance instructions, manes of dances, numbers of dancers required, and even some of the music.
