- British Library publishes online archive of 19th-century newspapers | Media | The Guardian – So rebellion in the HoC isn’t new – I looked at this page for a link to the British Library archive but the Guardian has done a good job here of picking out relevant material from the 19th century.

- Jarvis Cocker – I like this – stick with it and watch Jarvis Cocker assemble his name in a graphic style
- Internet Archive – More archive stuff – could this become an obsession?
- BBC Archive – This is a treasure trove. I could spend hours in this corner of the BBC website, listening to recordings of programmes that reveal our national heritage. The first hand account of a senior officer on board the Titanic on the night she sank is riveting. The archive also includes internal documents, letters and notes. Fascinating stuff.

- Quilt Museum and Gallery – Home – A little gem hidden in Peasholme Green in York. There's a new accessilble garden that reaches up to the city walls which according to this site is also a sensory garden.
- Oremus Hymnal: Breathe on me, Breath of God – It's a long time since I'd sung this hymn but we sang it in church tonight. Amazing inspiration

- Missing chef refused taxi money – The mystery of the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence as she walked to work in York. She's not been seen or heard for a week now – someone knows where she is.
- Gospels returning on temporary basis (From The Northern Echo) – I think there would be something special about seeing the Lindisfarne Gospels at Durham Cathedral or even better – at the ruins of the Priory on Lindisfarne. I'd certainly make the trip.
Marston Moor

Conflict must be the theme of today. Here I am at the site of the
Battle of Marston Moor. In 1644 Oliver Cromwell won a decisive victory
here in his campaign against the Royalists.
Another civil war like so many today. Freedom fighters often robbing
people of their freedom, but equally at other times it’s part of the
struggle for freedom when negotiation breaks down.
Enough contemplation. Time to mount the pedals for a few more miles.
