If any medievalists are still here: anyone attending the Leeds IMC, I will be driving from East Anglia via Cambridge on the Sunday. I have two PhD students in the car so far, but if anyone else would like to join us for a very cheap ride to Leeds, then get in touch!

A brief thread of medieval fish, being held by St Simon on Norfolk rood screens. This one is at Fritton St Catherine. Someone will know what it is. Presumably, if they were familiar fish to the artist, they were culinary? Fritton: norfolkchurches.co.uk/fritto… @tudorfoodrecipe

Question for medievalists: can anyone give examples of ‘punishment miracles’ where a medieval saint has intervened to punish female protagonists? Reading the twelfth-century ‘misogynistic’ miracles of St Cuthbert and wondering if there are any parallels? #medievaltwitter

Wondering if anyone who wants to give a Leeds IMC paper in 2025 is still looking for a panel? My paper doesn’t really fit the worlds of learning theme so wondering if anyone would like to team up to put together a panel #LeedsIMC2025
