Moot Hall in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, is one of the best-preserved Tudor public buildings in England. 🧱 The Burgess of Aldeburgh built the hall in the early 16th century at a time when the town was enjoying a notable period of prosperity. It once housed several merchant shops.

#OTD in 1878, the British Meteorological Office published its first weekly weather report. The weather has long been a national obsession - here is a record of monthly rainfall in Manchester by renowned scientist John Dalton in 1843. It was a rainy January, but a dry February!

Charles Voysey, a key Arts & Crafts figure, created simple, flowing patterns inspired by birds, trees & flowers. His decorative designs bridged Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau & modernism, showing how nature and daily life connect through design.

These vibrant tiles, designed by William De Morgan and painted with a William Morris pattern, were made in 1877 for a grand estate. Forgotten in a cupboard, they were rediscovered in 1928, perfectly preserved. A rare glimpse of Arts & Crafts brilliance.
