Margaret Clitherow grew up in a York marked by the religious upheavals of the English Reformation, eventually becoming one of the city’s most venerated martyrs.
#OTD, 10 April 1512, Margaret Tudor gave birth to James V, King of Scots at Linlithgow Palace. Over the period 1506 – 1512, Margaret had at least four pregnancies but James was her only child with James IV to survive infancy.

Last month marked the 440th anniversary of the York martyr, Margaret Clitherow’s death. In Issue 22 of @tudorplaces.bsky.social I explore the places and streets Margaret knew and walked during her lifetime, many of which continue to be associated with her memory today
Great to see Margaret Beaufort getting a long overdue episode of BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time this week. If you’d like to learn more about my research on Margaret’s palace at Collyweston and her links to Stamford, mentioned in the episode, I explore both topics in articles for @tudorplaces.bsky.social
Link here: tudorplaces.com (Issue 14: Collyweston; issue 18: Stamford)
Proud to have played a key role in bringing this fascinating project to fruition, and excited to see the implications of the research for heritage interpretation and practice over the coming year(s).
My latest piece for @uk.theconversation.com is a review of @wellcomecollection.bsky.social’s small but brilliant exhibition, ‘Expecting: Birth, Belief and Protection’, which is on until 19th April.
Thank you @wolfsonoxford.bsky.social for the lovely feature on my latest @uk.theconversation.com article.

An independent magazine exploring Tudor places and their stories, past and present. Perfect for people who love history and the places where history happened.
Wolfson Research Fellow Rachel Delman argues in a recent article published in The Conversation UK that medieval women used falconry to negotiate and sometimes subvert gender norms.
