John's family are saddened to announce his sudden death on 8th February. After his family, his passion for castles and historic monuments, not forgetting his love of Labradors, was evident to all who knew him, and he enjoyed sharing his extensive knowledge with others.

Has any historian etc tried to follow up an image of someone where under "Likenesses " in Oxforddnb an image is to be found in @NPGLondon but nothing is to be found there. 3 image searches for past figures in castle studies have drawn a blank

Well done, BBC Radio 3 this afternoon. The two greats of the folk scene, Maddy Prior and Katherine Tickell. First heard of Steeleye Span when digging Henry VIII's Palace at Greenwich with Phil Dixon in 1972 #steeleyespan

Received in the post today, yet another fine book from the truly amazing Shaun Tyas. How does this basically one man band publish so many excellent architectural and historical studies? @Castle_Studies
