@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.

[WALDEMAR JANUSZCZAK @JANUSZCZAK]

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!!

[Historic England @HistoricEngland]

We have supported @StaffsPolice and @south_staffs Council in their investigations and will continue to do so. ⬇️

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.

[Helen Hughes @HistoricInt]

@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
