First use of new @YalePevsner (and Grenville) at Helmsley. Influence of GG Scott jnr and Temple Moore in the Victorian rebuild of the medieval church. Marvellous wallpaintings of northern ecclesiastical subjects, and a super painted ceiling too
The new Pevsner Guide to Lothian was published last week and we were delighted to celebrate at Dalkeith Palace in Midlothian, hosted by Duke of Buccleuch. #DalkeithPalace #Pevsner #Lothian
I’m genuinely so chuffed to receive my contributor copy of the Pevsner Lothian volume ahead of its official launch tomorrow. Thanks to all the team for making it such a good project to work on. #buildingsofscotland #pevsner @YaleBooks @LeverhulmeTrust
Fine discovery inside St Michael's, Betchworth @VisitSurrey celebrated by @YalePevsner: '5 kinds of marble & inlaid with mosaic panels of Faith, Hope & Love & the pelican in its piety...this sort of furniture is undervalued...as full of life & as robust as a Jacobean pulpit'

In this article for #50Yearsin50Books, our Pevsner Production Editor, Linda McQueen, gives her personal insights into what it was like to join the Pevsner team - as someone who knew nothing about architecture! 29/50 #Pevsner @YalePevsner yalebooksblog.co.uk/2023/11/15/lea…
Such a thrill to have a new Pevsner, and for Oxfordshire, to boot! We all have many hours of enlightenment ahead, thanks, Simon Bradley. Here is a clutch of heroic Pevsnerian authors who make the architectural a world a better place @YalePevsner

Happy #MayDay 💐 Now is the season for picking posies. #medieval misericord from the “labours of the month” series in St Mary’s, Ripple. #woodensday
Here are some details of the incredible angel roof on the nave at Cawston in Norfolk - it dates from c.1460. On the hammer beams stand eleven six-foot tall seraphim, still with much of their original colour on them, their hands in prayer or raised in adoration.
2/2 And here's the 15th Century font at Portsmouth Anglican Cathedral, 'not very significant', thought @YalePevsner. In truth it sits in the shadows somewhat, compared with how beautiful the cathedral is since the extension was completed and it was reordered.
It’s out! My latest and indeed first ever book is published today. How To Enjoy Architecture: A Guide for Everyone, published by @yalepress, approaches architecture as a source of profound pleasure and enjoyment.
👀 St Botolph #Grimston #Norfolk #Medieval bench end of a #mermaid #Woodensday
Bratton Clovelly #Devon Partial ledger stone of 1634 led to some sleuthing to identify unusual coats of arms. Dexter (left) is chevron between 3 fireballs for Fursdon of Fursdon, Devon, while sinster (right) may be 3 salmon spears for Glynn of Glynn, Cornwall. #MemorialMonday
Two depictions of The Last Supper in #StainedGlass. Left, by #DouglasStrachan in @DunblaneCathed Chapter House. Right, in All Saints Scottish Episcopal Church, St Andrews, also said to be by Strachan, according to @YalePevsner.
The main entrance to the Philharmonic on Hope Street, with reminders about their fabulous pies (you won't regret it). The ornate Art Nouveau gates are usually credited to H Bloomfield Bare, and @YalePevsner tells us that the overall decorative scheme was supervised by Hall Neale…
A pair of Rosslyn ghouls for #MementoMoriMonday
#FontsOnFriday on @UN_Water #WorldWaterDay Chalk font in Grade I listed St Mary's #Guildford @VisitSurrey Carved dove on top is encircled by inscription from book of Genesis: 'Spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas' ('The Spirit of God was brought over the waters')
@SimoninSuffolk @YalePevsner Did you spot the carved, late medieval bench ends in the chancel? Quite something aren't they!
👀 St Philip’s Cathedral, #Birmingham Font of 1982 by John Poole - a lettered bronze-gilt bowl. (@YalePevsner) In background Burne-Jones “Last Judgement “ window of 1897. #FontsOnFriday
The 14th Century font at Holy Trinity, Hull, provided for the new church ('exceptional' - @YalePevsner ) for #FontsOnFriday. The slavery abolitionist William Wilberforce was baptised in it in 1759.
#SteepleSaturday St Ninian’s (former Free Church), St John’s Rd, Corstorphine, Edinburgh. @YalePevsner says it’s a plain box of 1844-5, dressed up in 1869. Stumpy SE spire with heavy pinnacles on the broaches.
👀 St Peter’s Church, #Cambridge #Cambridgeshire A 12th Century font. Four fish-men hold onto their twin tails. @YalePevsner states “The tails and arms form a symmetrical pattern on each side of the bowl.” #FontsOnFriday
A grinning moss covered skull sandwiched between two very chunky rosettes at St Botolph, Slapton. #mementomoriMonday
'...beautifully slender, rising rather improbably from the not so very substantial tower...' says 1967 @YalePevsner of the GrI listed St Michael's, the only medieval parish church remaining intact in central #Southampton #SpiresonSunday
Two #AdoorableThursday doors from the same street (I think!) in Painswick, #Gloucestershire. How lovely to have either as your very own front door!
Centuries collide for #TowersOnTuesday Likely 13th century tower courtesy of Grade II listed St Bartholomews Church, #Haslemere, @VisitSurrey features 20th century #staircase leading to intriguing upper doorway
