Read a novel on Medium!

Aeonian
A diary found at the back of a library draws a lonely young woman into Victorian era Cornwall, but as past events begin to repeat themselves, the reader must ask...

What is her connection to this story?

Well, it does make great longbows, and archery was the only sport that was allowed on Christmas Day in Tudor England...

The costumes in historical dramas are expensive & are often recycled. Do you recognise any? #costumedrama #recycling #historicalfiction #tomhardy #JonathanRhysMeyers #BarbaraWindsor

I’m waiting for my Anne Boleyn in oils to dry so I can do the final touches, so I’ve started another portrait in pastels.
I’m once again in turmoil over the fur Holbein sketched on her arms.
Should I go with black fur or ermine this time?

Headboard on a marriage bed commissioned for George and Dorathy Marshall in 1675. A statement piece of furniture in late Elizabethan revival style. Greensmith could be the name of their estate or something entirely different. Research has been futile on this question so far.

Book cover for Tangled in Time: The Portal by Kathryn Lasky. Image is two girls standing back to back. One looks haughty and is dressed in expensive Tudor era blue dress with a tiara. The other is relaxed and dressed in a white blouse with bowtie and suspenders and a shirt of multiple different cloth pieces. Between them is a lit portal showing the relaxed girl looking out at a grand building. A cat stands next to her. A gold necklace with a rose locket twines around the image.

Early 16th century tiles in the stunning Poyntz Chapel, St Mark’s Bristol, built by Robert Poyntz (d. 1520) Chancellor to Catherine of Aragon. The arms of Henry viii and Queen Catherine are above the altar.

The north east tower at #LaugharneCastle, on a distant and glorious Summer day. It is 13the century, with later alterations. The unfortunate collapse at least gives a good interior cross-section. #Castles #Pembrokeshire #TowerTuesday

A large cylindrical tower, attached on one side to a curtain wall. Part of the tower wall has long since collapsed, revealing traces of staircase, floor and other internal structures. It is a sunny day.
