111 years ago, on the 21st of September 1915, Cecil Chubb bought Stonehenge for 6600 pounds. He donated it to the state three years later on a few conditions, including a maximal entrance fee of one shilling. English Heritage takes wage inflation into account to calculate the current price. #otd 🗃️

#OnThisDay: William I died on 9 September 1087 while leading a campaign in northern France. He is buried in front of the high altar in the Abbaye-aux-Hommes, Caen (pictured). (Image: Supercarwaar via Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0).
Photograph of the chancel in the Abbaye‑aux‑Hommes, taken from a position where the high altar sits ahead and slightly to the left. A vaulted stone ceiling rises above round supporting columns, and the floor is patterned with black, red, and white marble in a lattice design. The high altar is a polished white‑marble block set on three red‑marble steps, with two red‑marble inlaid panels flanking a central gold panel. On top stands a large gilded altarpiece featuring kneeling angels at each end and cherubs lifting a crucifix in the centre. In front of the altar, set into the floor, lies a red‑marble tomb topped with an engraved white‑marble slab.

I love reading about medieval life, especially from primary sources. In my latest blog post, you can find out what went on in a thirteenth-century monastic bakery. You can read the medieval sources for yourself (my translations thereof). Fascinating stuff!
