It was great to return to Saltram last month to talk about my National Trust placement research into the house’s early history and its seventeenth-century owners. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how this research helps shape new interpretation in the house! @ntresearch.bsky.social

It has been a real privilege to host so many amazing speakers at our CWV conference this week. What started as a small idea between a couple of PhD students has turned into a brilliant event with over 60 attendees and an expanding network of over 90 researchers of early modern violence - thank you!

For our second keynote, Prof Elaine Murphy spoke on her ongoing project on wartime separation as experienced by 17c sailors and their wives. Her look into personal letters offered a truly fascinating insight into the lives and minds of these families - thank you Elaine! @plymprivateer.bsky.social ⚓
