Imagine you were a 22-year-old who helped to build St Albans’ abbey gateway in ~1365. You would’ve already survived the Black Death (twice) and seen the captured French King paraded through the town, with the Peasants’ Revolt still to come before you turned 40. #History

Thine be the glory,
Risen, conquering Son.
Endless is the victory,
Thou o'er death hast won.
A happy Easter to you all!

I’d have a glorious, large sycamore tree sculpture emblazoned with “if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine”.

Wonderful to have some nice spring weather at last - but might be a little while yet before anyone can safely get to this bench in Verulamium Park!

The abbey looking absolutely resplendent today, with some late winter sunshine beaming in.

Forget the Winter Olympics, the real sport is happening here in St Albans with the annual pancake race!! Good luck to the abbey team for their upcoming race. All in a good cause for @HomeStartHerts

St Albans cathedral wins bronze, as home to England’s third favourite stained glass window!! Well done to the Rose Window; a wonderful reflection of our glorious fenestration.
Wow. We can announce 3rd place in the hunt for the Nation's Favourite Stained Glass Window and it goes to a glorious explosion of colour created by Alan Younger ...
🥉 Rose Window at @StAlbansCath 🥉
Congratulations!

885 years ago, shocking news was spreading across England: the King had been captured here at Lincoln!!
Is it possible to summarise the dramatic history of those times using only nine Star Wars-style opening crawls?
Well, Twitter, let’s buckle in and find out…

Well, I realise this is appealing to a slightly niche audience of those who like Star Wars and the history of the 12th-century English civil war! But I found it fun to make and I hope you enjoyed it too. 🐭🙏

Happy Candlemas! In France, Candlemas is celebrated with the eating of crepes, an innovation attributed to the 5th-century Pope Gelasius I and one I heartily endorse.
