All Turned Around

Suddenly its all come good on access to the work. The folks at the V&A have been outstanding; I’m seeing both pieces – The Screen and The Alabaster - next Monday!

With the Rood Screen I’m even getting to see the documentation before I see the work. I’m attending a Study Day at the V&A this Saturday so I’ve arranged for them to leave copes of primary and secondary source stuff on the Rood Screen at reception for me to collect.
