Despite the many reasonable objections to the contrary, @CityWestminster still pursuing their misguided plan to get rid of their historic gas lamps. Here’s something I wrote on them earlier in the year. Sadly, they have already started to disappear
London‘s oldest streetlamps were designed to be beautiful as well as useful – so why is Westminster Council trying to remove them? apollo-magazine.com/westmins…
@VodafoneUK can you please explain why your service is so diabolically awful in north Oxford? It is so bad that when I called your representative to complain he could not hear what I was saying.

My latest bit of writing -- on John Crome in @Apollo_magazine online. An brilliant artist, tho unknown to many. Highly recommend visiting @NorwichCastle's excellent exhibition!
John Crome is forgotten today – but he once ranked alongside Constable and Turner apollo-magazine.com/john-cro…

Hello @lastminute_com I paid extra for a "Flexi-ticket" specifically so that I could change flight times if I needed. Now nearly two weeks after I requested a change, request still 'in process' and your customer service number is unobtainable. Could you please sort this out?

Morning ruined by @lastminute_com surprise insurance policy at very last stage of checkout . Money spent then time wasted cancelling policy. Sincerely intend never to use site again. Reputable companies don't try to scam people like this!
Well said!

Thank you!! ☺️
Shiny new volume of Architectural History from @TheSAHGB in the post today, including a great article by @Waslet on St Mary-le-Strand & something on #lincolncathedral that may interest @LFG_Hist
Very excited to be speaking to the @GeorgianGroup on *15th March* on James Gibbs's wonderful jewel-box of a church, St Mary-le-Strand and its situation in eighteenth-century London. georgiangroup.org.uk/event-d…
My favourite pub in Oxford. What an outrage! Can't @StJohnsOx do something about it? Profits from the Lamb and Flag used to fund a scholarship for disadvantaged students
How is this being allowed to happen?! Such a wonderful and important Oxford institution.

Had a lot of fun Talking Tudors with @OntheTudorTrail on Queen Elizabeth's prayer book. Have a listen to the end of the podcast to hear a remarkable discovery by @MOwenEmmerson ! talkingtudors.podbean.com/e/…
Very many thanks @MOwenEmmerson !!!
How I would love to see it! There are some rather fantastic images of the miniatures in this brilliant article by William. Highly recommended reading! britishartstudies.ac.uk/inde…

Honoured to have my article 'Situating St Mary-le-Strand: The Church, the City and the Career of James Gibbs' on the wonderful little jewel of St Mary-le-Strand included in the 2020 edition of
@TheSAHGB's journal, Architectural History, now out online. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Total outrage. How exactly is shopping indoors in a crowded supermarket more safe then shopping outdoors in a market where stall holders have gone to great lengths to ensure that appropriate social distancing measures are enforced? A shameful and scandalous decision.
Cambridge market will temporarily close from 1 January to help reduce the spread of coronavirus in the city: cambridge.gov.uk/news/2020/1… #StaySafeCambridge
