Delighted to be able to spread the word about the history of St Day Old Church in an interview with ITV West Country. itv.com/watch/news/the… #Cornwall #LocalHistory @AGRAGenealogy
The restoration of the plaster ceiling of the long gallery at @nationaltrust Lanhydrock is a great chance to get close to some amazing 17th century characters.
Lovely weather for filming with ITV’s Kathy Wardle at St Day Old Church this morning. #LocalHistory #Cornwall @AGRAGenealogy
Memorable weekend giving a talk on Cornish women’s history on one of the quieter, and slightly less muddy, stages at Tunes in the Park at Port Elliot. Don’t normally get people dressed as flamingos at my talks! @AGRAGenealogy #WomensHistory #Cornwall #TunesInThePark
18 bottles of wine and 26 roast chickens! Henrietta, you legend.

Aargh! Yet another article wrongly telling family historians that 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act abolished outdoor relief, so going into workhouse was only option. Outdoor relief carried on throughout 19thC. £3.6M given in 1870 alone! @AGRAGenealogy #FamilyHistory #Genealogy
Reading in @CurrentArchaeo about how the brain is the most commonly surviving soft tissue in archaeological remains going back 12,000 years, and all I can think about is: What a gift to the writers of science fiction!
Good news for speakers and authors in more subjects than might be obvious.
Excellent news that the Getty Museum has released 88K+ images of artworks with CC0 - Creative Commons, making them free to use in any way you like. creativecommons.org/2024/03/13/get…
“We must keep our theatres, music venues and libraries open. They are not luxuries.” Michael Cashman (@mcashmanCBE) said that the arts have a transformational impact on people's lives, and "speak of the kind of civilised, open country that we are – or could become".
There is a group of folk going around filling pavements and cracks with mosaics. I’m having problems getting tweets out…Sorry. The brainchild of this operation on the streets is from Lyon ‘Ememem ‘Pavement Surgeon
Just completed a long overdue website update. New links to all the interesting stuff that I’ve up to - books, podcasts & TV. Do take a look if you haven’t visited for a while humblehistory.com. #FamilyHistory #Cornwall #Genealogy @AGRAGenealogy
Some good reasons from The Guardian as to why original wills should not be destroyed after 25 years by @MoJGovUK after digitisation, as is proposed. Please make sure you respond to the consultation. Details below.👇🏻1/2 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
So tonight’s choir gig took an unexpected turn.
Impromptu carols outside @TruroCathedral whilst @CornwallFRS investigated fire alarm inside. Carol service with a difference. Thank you @ShelterBox
A fascinating read.
On this day in #Edinburgh in 1861 a great disaster occurred, one immortalised in a single phrase literally set in stone. It had enormous repercussions at the time and yet it's also largely forgotten, its details vague. This is the thread about the "Fall of Heave Awa' Land" 🧵👇
Front door as art. Better than the ubiquitous plastic pastiche Georgian any day.
Art nouveau red ‘Sunflower Door’ in Prague, with rising sun, topped with round stained glass panel, patterned with tulips, and a central clock. It's located at 6 str Hastalska
