@IANCOULSON2 An opportunity to compare the 15th century Tudor Bed beside a George Shaw forgery. I will be lecturing as part of the associated events.

@JANUSZCZAK A job opportunity for young art historian.

Any thrusting young art history students out there - preferably based in London - who want to do some research for a couple of my films? You’ll learn a lot and it will be a brilliant entry into TV. Paid position, of course.

@JonathanFoyle Bring it on!!

An interesting day yesterday at Warkworth Castle with @HistoricInt sampling the finish on the George Shaw furniture that was sold to the Duke of Northumberland as 'genuine Tudor' in the late 1840's. The Duke was not fooled but still acquired the furniture for Warkworth

Wonderful day watching Philip Gaches and his team at work on a celling in Sandwich. On a journey of discovery this week interacting with skilled artisans working in the historic environment.

@dgregorydesign @LouiseCastleTop @katephillips29 No the 1618 scheme was based on Robert Cecil' scheme in his Great Chamber at Theobalds. Details in my forthcoming book.

@LouiseCastleTop @katephillips29 @HistoricInt Really interesting, thank you. It feels like this colour scheme would have been unusual for this time period?

What a window! One of the many stunning features of Bolsover Castle, Derbyshire ❤️

@LouiseCastleTop @katephillips29 @dgregorydesign Part of the original 1618 scheme still retained to the left of the chimneypiece - for anyone who has doubts about the accuracy of recreation of 2000
