Travel through time

9/28/2024

Lately, I have been reading an interesting book by Ian Mortimer, "Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England." For those of us hooked on medieval history it is a delight! He walks through various aspects of medieval life, anything from food, travel, customs, and more. Reading through this, you will find a whole new glossary of words that you have never heard. For instance, do you know what a gongfermor's job was? It is actually detailed on google. Have a look. I might post more interesting medieval words here in the future.

I am a medieval historian who has been studying the Newburgh family of Dorset for 20+ years.

It all began when I realized the genealogy for this family was cracked! Joseph Gardner Bartlett wrote the first bone fide history in 1914. Through the errors of omission much of his work is provably inaccurate.

I was suffering with the empty nest syndrome, living in a rainy place with no sun, so I set myself up and started doing research. Here I am many years later with two books about the Newburghs under my belt and so much more information that needs an archive.
