@17thCenturyLady @jdmccafferty @SueCooperBridge @tudorfoodrecipe @MuseumCromwell @amylimart @kristianjmartin @restorationcake @RestorationHat @stuartsonline Mouse-skin eyebrows!
I know big brows are fashionable and often need a bit of help. But😱
Please don't bring these back! On squeak is not on fleek

And here's Matthew Locke's Music For His Majesty's Sackbutts and Cornets, which I first heard with my mum in the crypt of St John's, Smith Sq, as a teenager. Enjoy it! https://t.co/EYCWZ2LdLV

@17thCenturyLady New York, New York, so good they named it... four times. New Amsterdam was taken by England in 1664 and renamed New York City after James, Duke of York.
The Dutch retook it in 1673 (3rd ADW) as New Orange. In the 1674 treaty NYC was returned to the English
