@MintonArchive - Trying to work out a little bit about this beautiful (but sadly slightly ragged) tea set for an exhibition, but struggling to identify the markings! Any chance you could help?

Great to have @AuntieMongo at Burton Constable on such a glorious Spring morning to talk about our ongoing project recording the family's 19th Century music with @MusicHullUni

Thanks to @MarkSlater__ and @SDesbruslais, final musicians in our Victorian music recording marathon; Mark and Simon's help both initiating the project and overseeing/ participating in performances has made this work possible @MusicHullUni @BurtonConstable @UniOfHull #Hull #music

The statues are wrapped up to protect them from frost, and our only accidental 🎄 lookalike is back! Just in time - there's still snow on the ground from the weekend!! ❄

Who did William Constable admire in 1769 because of his lack of 'kniffy knaffyness'? What does that even mean!?
Visit our new exhibition to find out this and other fun facts about the wonderful William!

Had a great time yesterday discovering Sezincote in Gloucestershire. Such a beautiful house - and it's always fascinating to see the differences between historic houses owned by a family and those run by trusts little or large!

William Constable's wheelchair was sent for conservation yesterday to celebrate his 300th birthday - ready to be a centrepiece at @BurtonConstable's WC300 exhibition this autumn!
