St Andrew’s Church Church, Irnham, where we all got close up with the Luttrell Psalter on our Lincolnshire trip to Grimsthorpe Castle
The Luttrell Psalter is an illuminated psalter commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, lord of the manor of Irnham in Lincolnshire, written and illustrated on parchment circa 1320–1340 in England by anonymous scribes and artists. Along with the psalms, the Luttrell Psalter contains a calendar, canticles, the Mass and an antiphon for the dead. The pages vary in their degree of illumination, but many are richly covered with both decorated text and marginal pictures of saints and Bible stories, and scenes of rural life
