Born #onthisday in 1856, Sir H. Rider Haggard, author of adventure novels including 'She' and 'King Solomon's Mines'. Haggard's hero Allan Quartermain is a template for the character Indiana Jones in the film 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. #IndianaJones #Literature #History

At some point after the end of June in the year 1406, Elizabeth Mortimer, widow of Sir Henry Percy, (Hotspur) married Thomas, Lord Camoys. This is all we have left of Elizabeth, the tomb in the village of Trotton in Sussex showing her and Lord Camoys. She died in 1417.
@historicuk Yes! I have a vintage tube poster and it’s my favourite thing in my home. (Apart from dog and cat!)
Caroline Lucas’ big vintage poster of Brighton and Stewart Hosie’s picture of a cat - possibly 1960s? - were my home decor #PMQs highlights today. Not the point I know but seeing into MP’s houses is interesting.
Happy Birthday Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin! Chemist & X-ray crystallographer born #OnThisDay in 1910, Hodgkin is best known for solving the structures of medically important molecules such as penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin.
Lady Montagu and her campaign against against Smallpox helped inspire my #PhD dissertation chapter on diplomatic wives and #globalhealth. Glad to see her getting the recognition she deserves from @historicuk! historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Hist…

Florence Nightingale opened her school for nurses at St Thomas’ Hospital (where the Prime Minister @BorisJohnson is now recovering from #coronavirus) in 1860? Providing care for the sick since the 1100s, St Thomas' is one of London's oldest hospitals. historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Hist…
My favorite update from @historicuk? Definitely this one on Florence Nightingale. One of the most moving parts of the nurses pinning (graduation ceremony) is the Nightingale pledge and candle lamp being lit. historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Hist…
Thank you to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Ele…) for the image. If you would like to learn more about the Eleanor Crosses, @historicuk has you covered! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Ele…. They'll tell you where you can find the originals.
Emily Bronte would've breezed through isolation - especially as she was brilliant at baking in this Parsonage kitchen, as we see from multiple accounts. I plan on doing some baking myself; I have eggs, SR flour, butter, sugar and a bar of milk chocolate - what should I make?
I was due to launch my book in August at BosFest. The book is now postponed and BosFest cancelled. Both will be bigger and better after this is all over.
In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic & uncertainty around when restrictions will be lifted, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel #BosFest2020, which was due to take place on August 22 & 23. Please visit our website at ow.ly/LMmX50z9FQp for updates.
This will be me shortly and I am more than ok with it.
Today is #ShroveTuesday also known as #pancaketuesday - but what is the #history of it? Have a read of this by @historicuk ow.ly/PNmJ50yrcIH
Fun Fact from @historicuk: One well known story about Robin that places him in Whitby, Yorkshire, is about him and Little John having a friendly archery contest. Both men were skilled at archery and from the roof of the Monastery they both shot an arrow (1/2)
