Happening on Monday - a chance to reflect on what Tyndale's achievement of producing the first English New Testament out of the original Greek means 500 years on. A free event at the Cambridge Round Church, with wine & cheese too. 'Eat, drink and be merry' is appropriately a phrase Tyndale coined!

Today I discovered that a letter attributed to a man was actually written by Ann Bathurst, the 17th-century visionary woman I’m researching. 🤩 Archival work might be slow and painstaking but it’s totally thrilling to be going in search of lost voices from the past and finding them! 📚

And not just Exeter. At least 2 History Leicester FBAs have had to leave the University to stay in the profession due to risk of redundancy, and they won't be the only ones. The much broader issue affects thousands of excellent academics across a spectrum of disciplines (including STEM ones). 1/2

Blissful day at the British Library and a rare break from the whirlwind of looking after a 10-month-old, bc what do you mean I can read what I want, for hours, in relative silence without interruptions. Felt like a Lady of Leisure.
