Join me for this brand new webinar on 10th December 2025, where I'll be talking about how historic interiors can be used to tell new stories of houses, and the people who lived in them.

A statement in support of our colleagues in National Trust properties and conservation studios around the country.

Beige text against a burnt orange background reads: As individuals and a team, the academic and technical staff within the University of Lincoln's department of Conservation are shocked and saddened to learn of the redundancies taking place within National Trust conservation studios and properties. The National Trust has been a sector leader in the care and conservation of our shared cultural heritage for generations, and a beacon to which our students look for inspiration, guidance, and experience. We are concerned for what the cuts may mean for emerging professionals and the conservation sector, but we send our heartfelt thanks to each and every National Trust colleague - past and present - who has supported us in our educational and research aims over the years. We are standing with you in solidarity, as one conservation community. October 2025.
