St Edmund's Church and the Montagu Monuments by Louise Allen. St Edmund's Church in the beautiful village of Warkton, Northamptonshire is an unassuming place – but it holds some of the most exquisite sculptures in all of Britain. Commissioned by the local Montagu family.

A recommendation from one of the best 😉

OMG. Just looked at my bank statement and I appear to have got some royalties from Shire/Bloomsbury. Still only double figures but enough for a modest night out (if I'm only paying for me). Wondering if this is the Royal Coronations effect? Been waiting 10 yrs for this moment

Middleton Park (Oxfordshire) was remodelled in the early nineteenth century and contained a Chinese room with bamboo furniture and Chinese wallpaper. The house was demolished in 1935. Image: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York From Chinoiserie by Richard Hayman.

@lucigosling Wow, are they still accepting the half-pence variants?!

A rather nostalgic selection of stamps on this letter delivered to work this morning.

Absolutely lovely email last night from someone about my @ShireBooks ‘Royal Coronations’ book. When someone takes the trouble to write & compliment a writer on their work, it’s both gratifying and heart-warming.

@lucigosling The horse's culottes are rather Brotherhood-of-Man

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Today is the deadline for applying to the Coronation Claims Office (formerly Court of Claims) to be considered for playing a part in the coronation, be that as the King's Champion or his herbwoman. I quite fancy the latter. gov.uk/government/new…
