Thanks @lostplayhouse.bsky.social for “Pub Crawling Through Playhouses” - an excellent romp through playhouses and their drinking culture and cheers to @roseplayhouse.bsky.social for hosting! 🍻
Blame the change from BST to GMT - I was worried I wouldn’t be home from work in time, I would only have myself to blame for that.
The weather may be dreary today, but tomorrow looks better, so why not drop by ours at 1pm for a free talk on a long-lost painting of an 18th-century London amputation scene. www.sal.org.uk/event/amputa...

This should be a fascinating talk, so please do join us if you can!

King Stephen died on 25th October 1154 at Dover. He was buried in the choir at Faversham Abbey alongside Queen Matilda and their son, Eustace. The exact location of his remains is unknown but after the dissolution of the Abbey he may have been reburied in the church of St Mary of Charity, Faversham.
Congratulations Callan!!!
