Within the illuminated pages of the Sherborne Missal, perhaps the largest and most lavishly decorated English service book to survive from the Middle Ages, are no less than 44 highly naturalistic depictions of birds.
Along with ‘ganett’, ‘moorhen’ and ‘stork’, some feathery fowl on the pages go by their less-well-known Middle English names. Turn the pages with #BLTreasures http://bit.ly/2DSyEIL
