It was such a delight to meet Winnie Bahati, @CWHeritageForum Heritage Champion, who works for @CWGC in #Nairobi. It was great to hear about all the work she has been doing and her forthcoming plans for the CHF.
It was a joy to work with @NorwichUniArts, @drdharchitects and the rest of the team on this great project to reuse a wonderful Edward Boardman building in the heart of #Norwich.

In #Bedford to use the archives & I took a quick walk round the centre in the evening sun to see some of the rather lovely buildings that my ancestors would have known. My 3xgreat grandfather was born deaf but after attending a specialist London school was able to get a job here.
It was really good to hear from the @CWGC Non-commemoration team about their important work in Africa. It was such a privilege to have worked on a small part of it with the conservation management plan for the East African Memorials to the Missing.
A huge thank you to @CWGC for a fascinating conference exploring the future of the WHS for which it cares for 51 of the inscribed sites on the WW1 Western Front. It was great to hear about the CWGC’s endlessly fascinating work. The @CWHeritageForum was delighted to participate.
Very excited to be on my way to Paris as the representative for @CWHeritageForum at the @CWGC conference on the future of this important WHS. If you are interested in the subject, it is possible to join online.
Tomorrow partners and experts from across the international heritage community are coming together to explore the future of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Funerary and Memory of the First World War. This conference marks an important moment of shared reflection on how these landscapes of remembrance can be protected, understood, and sustained for generations to come.
The full event will be livestreamed so audiences can follow the discussions, hear from specialists, and join this collective exploration of stewardship, commemoration, and the responsibilities we share.
Join us online at 09:00 CET on Thursday, 1 October 2026 via the link below.
And finally to the Linnean Society where nature is woven into the design of the rooms. Thank you @LinneanSociety for a warm welcome. @LondonOpenCity
The Royal Astronomical Society not only had beautiful rooms to see but a phenomenal contemporary quilt and window alongside the second 1st edition of Newton’s Principia I have seen in two days but this time next to a section of the famous apple tree @RoyalAstroSoc @LondonOpenCity
Then onto the Royal Chemistry Society, which had some amazing interiors and beautiful stained glass windows. @RoySocChem @LondonOpenCity
A brilliant afternoon exploring Burlington House starting with the Geological Society, which threaded geological information throughout the presentation of the building. @GeolSoc @LondonOpenCity
What an amazing building…or four buildings in one! Many thanks to @theRCN Royal College of Nursing for the chance to explore such a varied place. The painted stair was an especially unexpected treat. @LondonOpenCity
I have long wondered what the inside of Temple Bar in the City of London looks like and today I had the chance to find out! @LondonOpenCity
A stunning City church, @HolySepulchreUK Holborn, combines a C15 tower and late C17 interior to create one of London’s most memorable churches, with fascinating treasures at every turn. Also home to the Memorial Chapel of Royal Fusiliers Regiment. @LondonOpenCity
A wonderful interweaving of the historic with the contemporary at the livery hall of @HaberdashersCo by @Hopkins_Arch. The Diamond Jubilee banner is a stunning example of contemporary craft. @LondonOpenCity
What a treat to see the Fellows’ Library at @WinColl in #Winchester A C12 book owned by William Wykeham, C14 map of the world, a Whycliff manuscript Bible and numerous first copies of key texts of art and science. Extraordinary! Many thanks to the Librarian and Winchester College
A fascinating talk this morning about the history of glove making and a chance to explore the Dents glove museum collection at @dentsgloves in #Warminster. Royal gloves, Nelson’s gloves, designer and film gloves sit alongside two centuries of gloves through the ages.
#Winchester #Quaker Meeting House is a charming building where the volunteers provided a warm welcome and cream teas. I learned that the Hampton Court vine came from a cutting of a Quaker’s vine alongside other gems in the fascinating exhibition.
An unusual church of many treasures, St John the Baptist Church in #Winchester was a delight even in the rain! #heritageopendays2026
Photos really do not do justice to the staggeringly beautiful church of St John the Baptist in #Devizes. The Norman chancel is mesmerising and the late C15 chapel a glorious confection of stone and light. #heritageopendays2026
Full of wonderful treasures, @wiltshiremuseum is also a beautiful building. #heritageopendays2026
