A really exciting slate of papers for this year's Late Medieval France and Burgundy Seminar! If anyone will be in Durham and wants in (or maybe even wants to attend online, I don't know?), drop me a line and I can share details!
Still, all in a good cause. If not one with good historical foundations. Rumpole of the Bailey would be proud.

"Original features have been reinstated, including floorboards, an ornate ceiling rose, cornicing, and a Victorian fireplace This exceptional four-bedroom house can be found on Talma Road, a residential street lined with Victorian townhouses near Brixton Station. The house, which has a large private garden, has been extensively remodelled and extended; the volume-enhancing design places a strong emphasis on light and the footprint of the house now extends to just over 1,500 sq ft internally The Building During the 1970s, the house was home - for a time - to activist Olive Morris, a prominent community leader in feminist, Black nationalist, and squatter's rights campaigns. Talma Road was one of several Brixton residences she occupied during her activism, and her legacy is now formally recognised with an English Heritage Blue Plaque on the façade, a quiet but powerful marker of the building's place in local and political history.
