So happy to have been involved in the 2nd series of English Heritage's Speaking with Shadows. Loved helping to share the story of the fiercely intelligent, boundary breaking and ever 'singular' Margaret Cavendish.

I was lucky this series to take part in a second #speakingwithshadows English Heritage podcast. When working on new interpretation at Kirby Hall we came across the brave servant James Chappell and a remarkable account of his heroic actions.

Tomorrow (21 May), Marble Hill, the beautiful riverside home of Henrietta Howard (George II's mistress and subject of my first ever book) reopens to the public after a glorious restoration. Read my review of it in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/art/architectu… English Heritage

Wonderful to be at the opening of @EHMarbleHill last night! I worked for a year with an amazing team English Heritage creating the illustrations seen throughout the beautifully restored house and gardens. Loved bringing #HenriettaHoward ‘s story to life!

After nearly 7 years working on this project, I am so excited @EHMarbleHill is open! It has been amazing working on such an incredible site and to share the story of it's intelligent and tenacious owner Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk.

It was so lovely to have been invited to celebrate the re-opening of @EHMarbleHill to the public. My 6 months working with this incredible team was a fantastic experience, and I'm sure visitors will feel the love, care, thought and hard hard work that went into this project.
