Finally enough exams marked to start planning my new ContEd course for Sept, starting with this rather brilliant stick of dynamite from @davidandress.bsky.social to set things off.

Hugely recommend the 1471 battlefield walk at Tewksbury. Really well written interpretation boards which give you a clear picture of events as you walk around. A must for Lancastrians and Yorkists!

Very pleased to be at St Andrew’s Church Centre (known by many as the church in Broadchurch) for a talk to Clevedon Civic Society on Hannah More, abolition, 18th century lives and her Mendip Schools. #HannahMoreLetters #localhistory
