The church at Llanbeulan on Anglesey was first founded by St Peulan in the early 7th century. But who was this early Christian Welsh saint?

Ornamented with blind tracery and heraldry, the font at St Mary Magdalene's, Caldecote, Hertfordshire is a truly beautiful survival from the medieval period. 1/7 © Adrian Powter

Notice to all dealers in scrap/metal/antiques : If anyone offers you this beauty, it's been stolen from St Augustine's church, Edgbaston and they would very much like it back...

Great to hear @AlexharwoodMuso’s #ACGAS title music on @BBCRadio3 just now. Every note on Radio 3 this #IWD is composed by women. I’m discovering so much new stuff. I’m also the proud owner of this poster from @her_ensemble. The background is hundreds of female composers’ names

A big thank you to Martin, our #LancsArtistOfTheYear winner, for two excellent and engaging painting workshops at #FreckletonLibrary. A very relaxing afternoon where everyone thoroughly enjoyed creating their own pen and wash painting @CobbyBrook
