I'm envious of your close proximity to a great museum. Calgary's biggest museum is closed for two or three years to renovate. Hopefully someday the Met will give Jeanne her due! I love a difficult woman!

Yeah, I'm trying my best to make the most of lucky conjunction of interests and geography!

I grew up in an English village with a C15 church and school (still running!) that was built by Chaucer’s granddaughter, Alice, so I love stuff like this. In case you haven’t read it, the biography ‘Chaucer: A European Life’ by Marion Turner is brilliant by the way.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for surviving centuries-old churches and parishes, and for churches established and sponsored by medieval women! Thank you for sharing this!
