#FridayNightFrills 18th Century silver embroidered blue damask court mantua,1730-40. Probably worn by Lady Rachel Morgan (of Tredegar House) for presentation at court

Petticoat of a court mantua worn by a member of the Morgan family of Tredegar House.

Went to St Fagans last week. @CuratorElen let me into the stores where I got to see AND TOUCH the heavily, beautifully embroidered Tredegar court dress (c 1720). It made "my" Welsh women so real, even more so than holding their letters and poems. Thank you Elen!

It's the last day of my contract today. Proofs and substantial edits notwithstanding, after four years spent largely in C17 London, I suspect it's time to return to C18 Wales.

If this is the actual New Conservatives Twitter account I’m going to be very pissed off with them when I find out they’ve tagged my parody version (which I hate)

Enjoying these VERY much this morning

What a fantastic piece of art at a local primary school featuring many of the cultural assets of #StokeonTrent (including us!)

The perils of doing an Alexa to do list in the company of your 6 year old...

@sharon_howard @Brodie_Waddell I've not been around much 🙂

@MaryFChadwick @Brodie_Waddell I didn't stop to check if you were on Twitter or I'd have tagged you properly!

A new piece from @MaryFChadwick looks at depositions as collaborative productions in the 17th-century Court of Chancery. Very useful for anyone who works on 'voices' in legal records, including the #PowerOfPetitioning crowd. (HT @sharon_howard) tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Using the train journey back from Aberystwyth to venture back to Twitter. Here's the beautiful view from @NLWales

@Brodie_Waddell @sharon_howard PS We've a co-authored article on petitioning and autobiographical acts coming out hopefully very soon - we were so grateful for the petitions online when COVID hit

@CrossCountryUK there's a very very loud, constant beeping noise on your 10.01 from Macclesfield. The train is also absolutely rammed with people who've paid a lot of money to travel
