Would recommend this course for anyone looking to brush up their climate knowledge - funded by Historic England, so incredible value at just £10 to cover the cost of your certificate! Grab a spot today 🦋🍃

Delighted to be at the National Trust Octavia Hill lecture last night hearing an important provocation from mary beard. Old places are just as important as green spaces in helping us understand 'the now' - how can we reinvigorate heritage & 'loosen up' so everyone benefits? 💪

How to fix culture before it collapses? Here's a good start: 1. Fund local authorities 2. Put the arts back in schools 3. Don't rely on private philanthropy theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

As an amateur archaeology enthusiast I can't recommend these two books enough! Fascinating titbits for those of us who love picking up clues in the landscape and being a source of 'fun facts' for our hiking partners. Secret Britain in particular is magical ✨🗝️

A perfect evening to explore the exquisite new needlework exhibition at the ever-lovely ChawtonHouse. Emily's project draws inspiration from the collection, gardens, and stories of female writers interwoven with the history of Chawton 🪡

A brilliant (and popular!) free historical photography exhibition in st Paul's churchyard today - including a panel on London's heritage protection movement before the Ancient Monuments Act. Go and see it if you're in the area! 📸 Brava The London Archives

The THA team are out and about with our mascot Gwinnie today to appreciate some #localheritage at Christ Church Greyfriars.🐶⛪️ One of Wren's 51 city churches (just like our home, St Martin Ludgate), it was damaged in the blitz and is now a rare green space in the City.

A windy 25 miles from Wareham to Old Harry on the Purbeck Way this weekend 🥾 At half way, Corfe Castle appears on the horizon. At the end the chalk ridge disappears under the sea and pops up again at the Needles - almost a mirror image. Finally an icy paddle at Studland Bay! 🌊

Toured Brixton Windmill as part of #HeritageOpenDays this weekend, a glimpse of Brixton's rural past and London's only surviving windmill. Packed with people keen to discover heritage on their doorstep - I've lived here 3 years and never visited. Heritage constantly surprises!
