Meet a Stuart bricklayer (Myles) in Chester or a Georgian coachman (Johnny) in Lancaster for costumed guided walking tours and heritage fundraisers in the UK.
Alongside 'Love History? So Do We!, we are trying to raise money for three different north-west heritage groups/charities, including Bishop Lloyd's Palace (Chester), the Judges' Lodgings (Lancaster) and the Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery (Carlisle). Please donate.
Want an immersive, historical experience? Tudor & Stuart Tours in Chester today at 11, 1:30 and 3:30. Next Friday at 3pm, Myles Mason will also be giving a free talk down Queen Street on Stanley Palace and Tudor Chester as part of Talking Chester for Heritage Open Days.

We were fortunate to gain an interview with this woman last month...fascinating building. There's a reason we're tying to raise money for it...please check out our 'Love History? So Do We!' fundraiser on Facebook if you're able to donate.
What can the front of Bishop Lloyd's Palace tell us?
There's no documented evidence about BLP until 1661 & evidence afterwards is sparse. This talk by Karen McKay of @ChesterCivTrust will focus on what we can learn from the building itself. Book now: https://t.co/itgNeKXMr5
Episode 4 of 'Love History? So Do We!' will be here in a few days. Please show your appreciation for our work by liking, sharing and subscribing if you are unable to donate to our Bishop Lloyd's Palace fundraiser this month. Thank you.

I am horrified to learn that the Boleyns' family home in Norwich is to be converted into a housing development.
And Norwich City Council is said to have granted planning permission, according to the Norwich Evening News.

Apologies but I've been a bit under the weather since yesterday and so there will be no Georgian & Regency Tours of Lancaster. Sorry for any inconvenience caused - if any tickets do get booked today, I will happily honour them on another day. Lancaster tours resume next week.
There will be additional Georgian & Regency Tours of Lancaster tomorrow, departing from Market Square at 10, 12 and 2. If you're in Lancaster and cannot make Fridays, then you've no excuse! Come visit coachman Johnny Eccleston for a venture inside St John the Evangelist's Church.
Dark tour of Chester if you dare also on Mondays and Saturdays at 6.00pm . Tickets bookable in advance from your Visitor Information Centre @VisitChester_@ShitChester
