@MrTimDunn@Windsor_Museum Thank you for your kind words, Tim. It was such a great experience and loved every minute. I’m now curator at Egham Museum but still at Windsor too. They can’t get rid of me! 😂 Hope you’re well!
It was a pleasure to give a talk today to @u3a_UK’s Windsor local history group about the attempted assassination of Queen Victoria in Windsor. We discussed the precarious nature of Victorian society and attitudes towards mental health in the 19th century. Thanks for having me!

It is 1199 and you, John, are King of England. As the youngest son of Henry II, you were never expected to inherit the crown, but now is your chance…
Can you rule and rewrite history?

Once you connect what’s in school books to the real thing in museums a whole new world emerges. Just ask Emily.

There are so many people across the country, entirely committed to preserving the history of the UK, about to lose jobs and livelihoods. Nevermind the loss of the institutions themselves. Speak up before history is lost irretrievably as local authority funding is slashed.
Thank you to everyone who visited us from across the world in the last few months.
Our donations included coins from Poland, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Romania, UAE, East Caribbean States, Thailand and more.
I’m so proud of my Nan for having her 3rd book published. Due to illness, she was left unable to cope with the eye movement of reading and writing. She had to relearn these skills and discovered her love for writing poetry. She inspires me very much ❤️

#DYK that Windsor was at the forefront of a newly emerged cultural phenomenon in the early 1970s?
The Windsor Free Festivals (1972-1974) were among the first of their kind and pioneered the idea that music festivals should be free & organically organised by festival goers.
Covering over 50 different topics, our free question sheets are a great way to stay connected with loved ones.

@TicketmasterCS hi, I have not yet received my email confirming my guest details for the Coronation Concert tomorrow. It states on the previous email that you need this to gain entrance. Please can you advise.
Can you help shape our future? We're hosting an engagement day on Sun 19th March to better understand what our community wants from their local museum.

My latest work project! Really enjoyed making this episode - so many intriguing stories. Amazing how much you can learn about a town’s history by researching it’s pubs 🍻
Have you ever wondered which pubs in Windsor are the oldest? Want to know their surprising stories?
To mark #NationalDrinkBeerDay, why not listen to our new podcast 'Windsor's Historic Pubs'? It is a walking tour but can be enjoyed at home too!
