Out of Time: King Tut

Wed 01 Dec 2021

There wasn’t anything particularly special about the reign of Tutankhamun. He held the throne for barely a decade, dying before the age of twenty after he succumbed to what has been speculated to be a leg fracture sustained during a chariot accident. So why, more than three millennia after his death, does his name remain arguably the most well-known (rivalled only by Cleopatra) from Ancient Egyptian history? The answer lies in an expedition, funded by Nottingham estate owner Lord Carnarvon, to excavate his tomb in the twenties - an expedition that led to the mysterious deaths of many involved, including Carnarvon himself…

Out of Time: Sir William Neville and Sir John Clanvowe, the Medieval Knights Who May Have Had a Same-Sex Union

Sun 11 Jul 2021

During the 1913 renovation of a mosque in modern-day Istanbul, a fourteenth century tomb was rediscovered bearing the names of two men. The first was Sir William Neville, a former Constable of Nottingham Castle, while the second was Sir John Clanvowe, the man said to have penned the Robin Hood ballad upon which all later iterations of the legend are based. But the nature of the tomb, and other recorded evidence, suggests that Neville and Clanvowe could have been bonded in an early example of a same-sex union…

Fri 12 Feb 2021

Being in love is gripping. It grasps at your heart as it falls into your throat, fills your lungs as you breathe in the moments, and sinks into your fingers, so imprinted you can’t let go. During this past year, we’ve all come to rely on it as everything else around us falls down and tightens up. But this year of instability forced me to let go of collapsing cliffs and find the joy of carving out new shapes. And so I embarked on a year of love lessons during lockdown...
