Tonight’s the night! It was fascinating, chilling and poignant to be taking a fresh look at the men - and women - involved in Anne Boleyn’s downfall. And of course, if the documentary leaves you wanting more, I have just the book for you… 😉 @channel5_tv @liontelevision

Happy Easter!
This leather pouch, recovered from the Mary Rose, features an amazingly well preserved monogram depicting the letters IhS, embroidered in silver thread.
This is almost certainly the Sacred Monogram, representing the name of Jesus Christ.

Happy Easter from the Tower of London! 🐰
Do tag us in your spring #PalacePhotos this weekend 🌼
ALT The image shows the Tower of London, a historic stone castle with tall arched windows and crenellated battlements. The scene includes a foreground of vibrant yellow daffodils and green grass under a clear blue sky. A smaller turreted building is visible in the background.
Hilary Mantel inherits a Cromwell from G.R. Elton and fills in the gaps.
Elton made Thomas Cromwell historically unavoidable; Mantel made him imaginatively present.

The literary world has long felt the absence of Dame Hilary Mantel and her fierce, generous spirit. However, last night in London, that spirit felt remarkably present as the winners of the 2026 Hilary Mantel Prize for Fiction were announced. wolfhallweekend.substack.com…
