Gothic inspiration from the heavens...

Hello my lovely Ecclesiasticals,

Thanks to all who have entered the ticket giveaway thus far. There’s still a few days to comment on the post to be in with a chance of winning, so please do if you’d like to come hear me and Peter Stanford talk at the Church Times festival in Winchester next year.

I also have a signed copy of Heaven on Earth to be given away. Enter via any of my social media pages. But don’t worry, as I’ll be doing some more special giveaways just for you lovely lot soon!

Today’s post is all about numbers: we’ve touched on this before but let’s deep dive to learn just how numbers really mattered to the medieval mind.
