I spent the afternoon 40 or so miles south in Lichfield, an impromptu visit! I revisited the cathedral and visited Erasmus Darwin's house too (grandfather of Charles). Lovely day for it!
It was one of the best courses I have ever read, introduction to material culture, lots of interesting stuff about the hand printing press and some of the first books, tourism, religious relics, iconoclasm, shoah, Greek vases, Roman villas, I loved the cabinets of curiosity and anatomical preparations of Frederik Ruysch, but no, the exam was terrible. About an hour after I finished it I realised where I should have written about Ruysch! ;-(
