@sophiebwaterman The Nedeham volumes are amazing. So rich with information for building accounts! I was looking through them a couple of weeks ago and have found a few references to Elizabeth Boleyn within, also Lady Wynkefield. Happy to correspond if useful.

Primary source research can lead you to the most incredible manuscripts! Today, I'm continuing my search through the pay-books of James Nedham, the king's surveyor general, for references to Elizabeth Boleyn's lodgings (Bodleian Library, MS. Rawl. D. 775) #HistoryWritersDay24

@Indiaswright @HRP_palaces @OxHumanities @OOCDTP @AmiliaGillies @AlicePerrers @CoffeeBookGirl Great to meet you online earlier this week, and looking forward to working with you!

I am excited to share that I’ll be undertaking a curatorial research placement with Historic Royal Palaces over the coming months! Co-ordinated by @HRP_palaces, @Oxhumanities & @OOCDTP, working with @amiliagillies, @rachel_delman, @AlicePerrers, @CoffeeBookGirl and Alden Gregory

@LDN_Museum Thank you for the prompt, I have never actually been to Buckingham Palace and really should go!

What tourist attraction have you always wanted to visit in #London but never got round to?

New funding is available for our #EverydayHeritage grants programme, celebrating working class histories. 📢 This time, we're focussing on buildings or places in rural and coastal locations. Find out more ➡️ historicengland.org.uk/EverydayHerita…

@AnnaLandmark These are in Hampstead, built c.1840 to house watercress pickers. A really lovely example of C19 workers cottages, built adjoining fields and the Heath before Hampstead expanded to the south.

😱😱😱

I’m excited to be leading a sold out tour of Hampstead later this week for @GeorgianGroup. We’ll be exploring the history steeped slopes of one of London’s best-loved villages. Travelling back to the 18th century when Hampstead was a rural retreat one hours walk from London.

So enjoyed Notes & Queries, the symposium in honour of Richard Hewlings yesterday. It was a privilege to talk alongside such a distinguished array of speakers and just such a lovely occasion. Thank you @elizdeans and @CSCA_Cambridge for organising.

Building cannibalism: another greedy facade retention scheme tripling the size of the original structure consumed #graysinnroad #facaderetention

@charlesjholland Quinlan Terry? What a window into the psyche!

Anyone want to guess which notorious architect did this as their diploma project:

@BarnabasCalder I rather like it too. It has a rhythm, a grounding predictability - like the science of musical appreciation but for the eyes. The brick lends a (quite literally) earthy quality to the facade, which also helps camouflage the grime of pollution from Gray’s Inn Road!

@Indiaswright I agree. I quite like it.

Heatherwick is right: people love pre-C20 #architecture because it's always curvy and full of variation. Passing this, my neurons were in an almost uncomfortable state of arousal.

@Owenmeowenyou Troubling

@Lucy_Worsley Temple Church!

A quiz question for you! Which London church?

I also get a mention in the accompanying @GeorgianGroup magazine in relation to the Architecture & Health symposium I presented a paper at in February this year! 3/3
