There were many beautiful moments in 2025, but this was one of the most moving, in July in Shropshire.
After many years, I found the grave of Mary Gartside, and her real name: Martha Gartside.
With thanks to @SussexUni, @CLHLWR and many other supporters

If you've seen the photos of our newly reopened dining hall and want to know more about the project and how the hall has evolved since it was first built in 1618 look no further! It's undergone quite an evolution in its 400-odd years....

Our temporary Lawns Pavilion is finally gone, and our newly refurbished dining hall is *almost* ready to serve meals! We cannot wait to welcome every back to meals in this fantastic building! Just a few more portraits & bits of kit to install and we will be fully operational...
