Unfortunately, I\u2019m going to have to miss tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, including the Canterbury Medieval Pageant, and today I was partly at the Faculty conference and therefore missed quite a few of the papers at Dr Diane Heath\u2019s NHLF-funded Medieval Animals Heritage<\/strong> \u2018Skin and Bone, Wood and Stone\u2019 <\/em>conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, the papers I did manage to get to were excellent and I heard great reports about the others. Nevertheless, rather than report on just a few, I thought what I would do as a way of getting something out would be to post a series of photos to take you through Wednesday evening and at least to provide a flavour of Thursday. Then once I\u2019m back and I have a report in on the conference, Diane is organising that, I\u2019ll add it so that we have a record that reflects this splendid conference in its richness, as well as the collegiate spirit shown by all concerned \u2013 final years undergraduates, postgraduates, staff, speakers from across the world, Diane\u2019s project volunteers from outside the university and people from Kent who came to find out more medieval animals.<\/p>\n\n\n
