Great account from Father Dolling, an East End priest sent to help the people of Portsmouth in the 19th century. Some great local history for teachers in Hampshire. We've incorporated into our Health and the People course. If anyone wants the full lesson, give me a shout!

Thanks @georgeiiirex.bsky.social - hope you've been enjoying the good weather at Kew recently!

Also, and finally, a great opportunity to reference Bridgerton as an interpretation about George III, especially in comparison to the Alan Bennett play.

A part of the first activity where we look at key events in George's reign and how they would have impacted him:

He commissioned this piece of art, depicting Alfred greeting Octavius in heaven. In fact, George III was told not to mourn as they were "too young", despite George being terribly impacted by their deaths. Heartbreaking art that, after further research, it seems George had to keep quasi-secret.
