There are still men living in Leigh Woods, but in order to protect their privacy, and the locations of their homes, I decided not to film anywhere near the area. It’s sad to see how the government fails these people again and again, from lack of support to actively evicting them from their homes. It brings to light rather more cynical take on my usual statement: years pass, but people don’t change. #medievaltiktok #ww2history #bristolhistory #bristol

I can’t stop thinking about when Margery Kempe met Julian of Norwich [AD] Having seen the manuscripts of ‘The Book of Margery Kempe’ and ‘Revelations of Divine Love’ at @British Library ‘s exhibition: Medieval Women: In Their Own Words, I couldn’t stop thinking about how these women, one an illiterate mother of fourteen and one an educated anchorite, met in-person. What did they talk about? Kindly sponsored by the British Library <3 #ad #britishlibrary #medievalwomen #medievaltiktok #julianofnorwich #margerykempe

The oldest Valentine in the English language shows us the price of medieval love! Margery Brews was a young adult when she dictated this letter to her soon-to-be husband, using clever rhetoric to persuade him that her small dowry was more than sufficient. You can see this letter at the @British Library 's new exhibition, Medieval Women: In Their Own Words, which is on show until 2nd March 2025. Thank you to the British Library for sponsoring this video! #medievaltiktok #valentine #britishlibrary #ad

Thank you so much to the British Library for sponsoring this video! #medievaltiktok #henryiii #Britishlibrary #ad
