Congrats, Katie. That's great news!

Looking forward to hearing this!

Charles I — Chiddingstone Castle New for our 2023 open season, is this unusual leather bottle in the shape of Charles I. He is on display once more in the Castle's Print Room, following extensive conservation.

Can anyone help? This intriguing leather bottle of Charles I, standing over a metre tall is in the Stuart & Jacobite collection at Chiddingstone Castle. It's uncertain when, where & why it was produced, but if anyone has any insights please let me know. www.chiddingstonecastle.org.uk/charles-i/

Such a nice feeling to finally receive the hardbound copies of the thesis. So much more satisfying than the digital version! #PhDdone #earlymodern #london

Good to see it in print, Katie, and also have some insight on the relationship between anti-popish sentiment and what Catholics were doing, particularly in London. I very much enjoyed reading it.

Fascinating!

A fascinating map of the parish of St Andrew Holborn, London (1755) showing the areas within the freedom of the City and those 'without' in the County of Middlesex. Intriguingly, many Catholics typically lived in the latter.

Thank you! 😊

Many thanks 😊

Many thanks, Harry. I will let you know when that is, but hopefully late May.

Just seen this Zoë. Yay, congrats!

Thank you 😊

Is there an early modern recusants starter pack?!

Thank you 😊

Thanks, Liesbeth! A rest beckons first before the ordeal of trying to publish the thesis, as you can relate, I'm sure!

Me after I passed my viva recently! So grateful for my supervisor, Alexandra Walsham, & @ryansinnott.bsky.social's support. Thanks also to my examiners, Gabriel Glickman & Adam Morton for a rewarding discussion and helpful suggestions for publishing my thesis as a book. #phd #cambridge #earlymodern

Hi Liesbeth, if there's still room on the list, could I be added too, please?

It's now being reported by the BBC and others.

Fourteenth Annual REFORC Conference on Early Modern Christianity - Renaissance Society of America 365 Fifth AvenueRoom 5405New York, NY 10016 • USA

Conference in Vienna in May 2025 on early modern religion and rebellion.

Any racist violence is shocking. I see it has been reported by CNN, but by hardly any news outlets in the UK/Europe. Does raise questions as to why.

Thanks, Liesbeth. Very helpful. Hoping many more will join this place.

It should do, but it takes 30 days until the account is actually deleted. It deactivates first, but deletes after a month, apparently.

I did that today.

Hadn't logged into my Twitter account in two years. Today seemed like a good day to do so, to delete it.

Congrats, Zoë!
