A nice 1870s artefact in the literary construction of Cornwall. Note the subtitle: "A tale of Cornwall in the LAST CENTURY". Remember, when you watch Poldark you're not watching a simple imagining of C18th Cornwall; you're watching a 4th-hand reiteration of a Victorian fantasy.

We're enchanted by this beautiful film Screen Cornwall. We hope our first season contributed to telling some of those hidden histories, reminding us of how incredibly connected this far flung place has always been. There was #Cornwall before the #G7. screencornwall.com/behindthepostc…

Amazing 19th century #hearse

Last week, I’m traipsing about this lovely old cemetery in St. Genevieve, Mo. when my phone rings. I’m dripping with sweat. Friend back home asks what I’m up to and I share what I’m doing. He laughs and says, “Living your best life, sounds like.” Yes, Bob, I certainly was…😊

The grave of of actor and musician Fernand Arbelot, at Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. He wished to be depicted gazing upon his wife's face for all eternity. His epitaph reads: “They marveled at the beauty of the journey that brought them to the end of life.”

The King of Terror returns for this #MementoMoriMonday Here in St. Machar's Cathedral, Aberdeen, we seem him in a benevolent role, attempting to reunite one Patrick Scougal with his wife💀

We found this friend on our walks around Porto, Portugal this summer. We are currently talking a short break from research and production. We look forward to returning to discover stories in Cornwall's cemeteries this Autumn. #cemetery #graveyard

In the Victorian era, people wore jewellery made using hair to memorialise loved ones. In 1854, the novelist Wilkie Collins wrote that bracelets made of human hair were "in England one of the commonest ornaments of woman's wear" #FolkloreThursday [Img by Science Museum London]

Oh yes this. I have been challenged on my accent in my podcasting practice On The Hill podcast. There is a lot of work to be done when it comes to decolonising aural spaces too. To the mics, everyone! #podcasts #podcasting #youallhaveanaccenttoo

It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.

We remember Jacques Goudstikker, Jewish Dutch art dealer who died in #Falmouth bay on the SS Bodegraven, the last ship of the kindertransport, after narrowly escaping the Nazi invasion of Holland. The Nazis looted his collection & killed his family Auschwitz #HolocaustMemorialDay
