This exquisitely produced account of 'The Guards and Batterys in Gibraltar' was an unexpected find in a #NewAccession to the Turbutt family of Ogston collection.

What a thrill yesterday to see #topiary trimming in action behind Univ of York’s @york.ac.uk Heslington Hall, home to our Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies. The original topiary design dates from the early #18thCentury & was inspired by Dutch gardens.

George III married Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz #onthisday 1761. I wrote about the road to their betrothal and their marriage in my latest substack post, free to read here:

This afternoon, #ChristopherWebster gave an illuminating talk on #18thcentury Yorkshire architect #CharlesWatson.
I look forward to reading Webster’s book about this brilliant and overlooked figure next year.
Thanks to @cecs-york.bsky.social for sharing the news that this lecture was taking place.
