Seeing the Swing in person was a real dream, even more so as it was in a Disney exhibition at the time – at South East, England

🤫 Can you keep a secret? 'Perhaps before the end of April, Mansfield Park by the author of S & S.-P. & P. may be in the World.- Keep the name to yourself. I should not like to have it known beforehand.' ✍️ #JaneAusten writing to her brother on 21 March 1814.

It’s gone to a museum! Best news ever! I was lucky to see it at @JaneAustenHouse and I’m so pleased it’s staying the public domain – at Milton Keynes, England
If you spotted the auction of Mr Darcy's shirt in the press this week, you may be wondering who bought it.... Find out more: news.calderdale.gov.uk/bring… [image copyright Kerry Taylor Auctions]

Adds to the list of dresses I’d happily wear to events in the 21st century – at East Midlands, England
Friday Treat Time and a beautiful duck egg blue silk evening dress from the late 1810s. This exquisite example with its fuller skirt shape and elaborate trimmings reflects a move away from the neo-classical influences of the previous decade to the romantic tastes of the 1820s.

We're hearing rumours that we've cancelled Christmas! If you've heard that too, don't worry. Our celebration for 2023 has only just begun, and you can find out more about what we're planning at the link below. PS. It's still printed in all the calendars in our shop, too.

Fantastic day supporting @openhouselondon @heritageopenday at @StJohnsGate. Hundreds of visitors (including a hen party!) and many questions! Only bored half a dozen visitors to death with gentlemen’s magazine facts 😅 – at Paddington, London

Very privileged to have been supporting this event yesterday. Thank you to donor families who came and shared their stories. – at Milton Keynes, England
A fitting way to honour the 10,000 organ donors who have received the Order of St John Award. 💗 Ahead of #OrganDonationWeek, His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester unveiled this memorial at London’s Museum of the Order of St John, to celebrate 10 years of the awards.
