Tameside Castle Excavations
A team from the Center for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford have concluded that the castle, begun by the Earl of Chester during the Anarchy, was never completed. King Stephen had granted the Scottish king lands for which the Earl had a competing title; the castle seems to have been intended to guard the border and protect the Earl's claim.

Working Drawings at Binham Priory?
Volunteers for the Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey have found large drawings of arcs and lines marked by dividers inscribed on a wall of Binham Priory. Matthew Champion, project director of the NMGS, suggests that these are working drawings, perhaps of the building's west front. Binham priory's mid-thirteenth century facade was among the first in England to incorporate bar tracery.
