@restalrig @HamHouseNT I'd be really interested in what you find out about her. Trying to write about upper female servants at the moment (as Hannah Wolley was one, in the early 1640s).

[Dr Sara Pennell 💙 @HistorySara]

What gems @restalrig sees! The quince paste inboxes reminds me of the @HamHouseNT inventory with such boxes listed in the (still-surviving) stillroom. Was Mistress Young an upper servant, I wonder?

[Michael Pearce @restalrig]

This is Moray Marmalade Book (NRAS 217 5:1227) with Mistress Young's recipes included. There is quince paste in boxes, on a stool. Mostly in Scots

@biztradegovuk Can I have Freedom of Movement instead please?

[Dr Sara Pennell 💙 @HistorySara]

Visiting this was one of my highlights of 2023. The exhibition also focuses on the conundrums of conserving such a complex artefact, & at one point even questions whether it will be possible to preserve it for perpetuity. A great & honest admission on the part of its curators.

[Tony Pollard @ProfTonyPollard]

There are conservation headaches then there’s Vasa. Sank in 1628 and raised in 1961. Hope they get it sorted as it’s the most wonderful Time Machine. https://t.co/eev7QKE89H

Ramping up the anti-Te Haag palaver.

The Salford Broadcasting Corporation’s Match of the Day leads with a predictable mid-table victory for Bournemouth. Must have an eye on the pensioner demographic.

A warrant for £70 payable at Goldsmith's Hall to Mrs Christian [Edward alias] Inglis, at Sunderland 11 April 1644 (SP 46/106 f.146), her father was Nicol Edward of the Banshee Labyrinth on Niddry Street

Thinking about John Craske, a Norfolk fisherman who started embroidering after contracting influenza while fighting in WWI. His doctor suggested he embroider to occupy himself. These are from the Dereham Heritage Trust, The Red House, and Norwich Castle Museum

See this @mrssbilton? Perhaps Mary Eales wasn't so innovative after all!

[Dr Sara Pennell 💙 @HistorySara]

Well, I suppose that's something to cheer those academics facing redundancy. Is that what REF mean by 'conplexities'?!

[REF 2029 @ref2029]

Following the REF initial decisions consultation, we're announcing some updates - most importantly that the next REF will be REF 2029. This is in recognition of the complexities for HEIs in preparing for the exercise.

@mcoppsldn @magmidd You are very kind... last chapter of @BloomsburyHist Birth of the English Kitchen might be helpful. Happy to chat further if needed.
