This is so exciting! Who’d have thunk that little web series of ours would still be of interest 10 years later!

Have you ever heard of From Mansfield With Love?

Running from 2014 to 2015, FMWL is the vlog style adaptation of Austen's Mansfield Park, and just like its source material, it's beautiful, engaging, and criminally underrated!

Today is Gilbert White’s death day it’s become a little tradition of mine to make a little posey from the garden and visit him.

Such a wonderful week!

We’ve had a wonderful time hosting an international conference this week ‘Gilbert White and his Contexts’.
Truly interdisciplinary much like White himself with literary historians, ecologists, educators, biologists, theologians and historians and everything in between!

We are so delighted that our latest acquisition a letter from Gilbert White to antiquitarian John Loveday is on display.
This letter was bought thanks to funding from @thefnl.bsky.social

The letter is being held by our collections manager but only her arms are visible, she is wearing a stripy jumper. In the background you can see a green table and a mantlepiece
