From Hatfield Park to an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the majestic #HamptonCourt with none other than Prof Tracy Borman OBE, today’s leg of Dr Nicola Tallis’s ‘Young Elizabeth’ tour could not have been more perfect ❤️

Never happier than when in the presence of the iconic White Tower - one of my absolute favourite places in the world. A thousand years of history in every stone and each one breathtaking. #TowerofLondon #normanarchitecture #WhiteTower

Thrilled to see this exquisite C16th panel portrait of William Carey on display at Hever Castle! As Mary Boleyn’s first husband, William likely knew Hever well, making its paring with Hever’s portrait of Mary truly special and evocative. Do come and see him! #HeverCastle

A closer look at Hever Castle’s stunning new acquisition: a glorious 16th-century portrait of William Carey, Mary Boleyn’s first husband. I do miss him hanging by my desk, but I’m thrilled he’s now on public display in the Great Chamber where he belongs! hevercastle.co.uk/news/josh-widd…

A heartfelt appeal to any fellow Chalke History Festival attendees on Sun 29th June: I lost a large plain silver ring (Birmingham 2000, size Z). It’s dented and worn, not worth much, but means a great deal to me. Please do contact me if found. Thanks so much! #ChalkeHistoryFestival

We spoke to Owen Emmerson about how this portrait came into his hands, what it means for our understanding of Mary and William, and how Hilary Mantel’s fictional world echoes deeper truths about overlooked figures in Tudor history. substack.com/home/post/p-16…
