Sweary prof, iconoclast, and non-league football nut (Larkhall Athletic FC 💙). Lives in early modern London; citizen & Founder. Bossed by cats. I mean it about the swearing 🤬

It's seemingly mandatory to bring a dog or two to Falmouth and St Mawes. Favoured breeds: labradors, dachshunds, spaniels. Zero labradoodles or cockerpoos.

Earlier today I blagged my way into the Falmouth parish church, King Charles the Martyr, consecrated in 1663 in a very Royalist town. It's pretty impressive, with a complicated history...

Absolutely no way he would have got away with any of this at a post-92 HEI. Unless he was a senior manager, obviously.

As with all the ancient livery companies, the Founders have the right to search for and seize/destroy unfit items in their purview. For us, it's weights. We are re-enacting a searching and sizing ceremony in a couple of weeks and I've been asked to script it. I guess that makes me a pageant-master!

It's rare to be able to put an identifiable image of a place in early modern London next to a textual reference to that place: the Nag's Head on Cheapside, 1613 and 1638

Churchyard of St John Zachary, opposite Goldsmiths' Hall. Great spot for a slightly hungover carb-heavy breakfast. It's insanely warm for the end of September.
