Honoured to be awarded the Stephen Croad Essay Prize for my article on Balthazar Gerbier and Hamstead Marshall. Many thanks to Historic Buildings & Places for a lovely evening. #17thcentury #architecture https://t.co/lqFtcieQOX

Finally managed to photograph the citadel gateway in Plymouth, but sun frustratingly in wrong position. Security means you also can't get up close #17thcentury #architecture #baroque

Sad to hear. Loved David Lodge's campus novels, but also wrote brilliantly accessible criticism. Still dip in to The Art of Fiction #books https://t.co/DOm13rgu25

Devin Stanfield and Rennie Rye reunited for Time and Tide: Making The Box of Delights for the 40th anniversary blu-ray release. It was a delight to watch. This children's serial holds a special place for so many of us that watched it in 1984. #TheBoxOfDelights

Parts of the beautiful Lavenham Guildhall, Suffolk. Dating from the 1500’s, this impressive and sprawling building still dominates the market area of the village.

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.
