SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Six Islington Squares Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:Rob Smith will take us on a virtual stroll as we admire the domestic architecture of 19th century Islington. During the 19th Century the farmland of Barnsbury gave way to a succession of building schemes that created some of the worlds first suburbs. Each square was developed by a different landowner with a different architect\, so they each have their own look. Rob will look at the people who lived in the squares – theatre critics\, journalists\, singers and experts in guerilla warfare! \nThis is a live virtual tour hosted via Zoom meeting where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the tour route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction after the virtual tour. \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Bath Assembly Rooms
DESCRIPTION:Join Bath Assembly Room curators\, Tatjana LeBoff and Emily Roy\, online for a talk which will reveal the fascinating story of Bath Assembly Rooms\, from their glittering eighteenth-century heyday as a venue which hosted Jane Austen\, through the many challenges they have faced across the centuries. In preparation our curators have conducted extensive research into the lives of Georgians in Bath from all walks of life\, uncovering stories to be shared. Join them as they unveil the changing fortunes of the building\, shedding light on the fascinating group of people who first funded its construction\, and go on to explore how the Rooms have survived fire and war\, as well as shifting fashions to remain one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks. And then what about its twenty-first century future? This talk will provide the ‘inside track’ on the current project to restore the building. \nTatjana LeBoff is a Project Curator for the Bath Assembly Rooms (National Trust)\, having previously worked for the National Trust at Petworth House\, as well as holding contemporary curatorial positions at the Barbican\, London\, and Pembroke College\, Oxford. Having received a BA in History of Art and an MA in Architectural History from UCL she has developed her curatorial skills through research and hands-on experiences. Her interests lie in the interplay between art\, design\, fashion\, architecture\, society\, food\, and the lived environment\, exploring how social and individual identities are constructed\, conveyed\, and reformed. With a focus on how complex concepts can be communicated to a wide audience through curation\, dynamic displays\, diverse narratives\, participatory activity and multidisciplinary collaboration\, the experiential and emotive value of art and heritage is paramount to her curatorial practice. She holds expertise in the social history of the long eighteenth-century\, alongside that of curating contemporary and site-specific art. She seeks to combine these two areas of experience to create new ways of sharing history with a wider public. Additionally\, she is a co-editor on the publication Bath and Beyond: The Social and Cultural World of the Georgian Assembly Room\, published by Routledge as part of their Studies in Eighteenth-Century Cultures and Societies series in 2025. \nEmily Roy is Project Curator for the National Trust at Bath Assembly Rooms\, working on the restoration and presentation of the Rooms and the creation of a new visitor experience\, to open in 2027. Her research includes how health\, wellness and disability in Georgian Bath intersected with leisure and entertainment. Emily is leading on the historical basis of the narrative content within the experience and the creation of new displays of historic objects\, including loans from other National Trust properties\, local Bath collections and UK museums. Before this role\, Emily was Project Curator for Applied Arts at Bristol Museums\, working with collections including textiles\, metalwork\, ceramics and glass. She completed her PhD in 2022\, which was a Collaborative Doctoral Award between the University of Cambridge and the Ashmolean Museum\, University of Oxford. Her thesis titled ‘City of Stone: The Materiality of St Petersburg in Print\, c.1703-1830’ explored print culture and urban development in long-18th-century Russia. Before beginning her PhD\, Emily was Curator at Waddesdon Manor (National Trust\, Rothschild Collections)\, with a special focus on furniture and decorative arts. She has also completed research and cataloguing projects at the Ashmolean Museum and British Library. \nTickets: Free for members and non-members\, registration is required

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Alice: An Extraordinary Princess
DESCRIPTION:Despite being Prince Philip’s mother\, Princess Alice of Battenberg\, was a little-known member of the British royal family who is often falsely portrayed in film and television. She lived a tumultuous life filled with tragedy but also hallmarked by charity work and incredible acts of bravery. Born congenitally deaf at Windsor Castle in 1885\, a birth witnessed by her great-grandmother Queen Victoria\, she married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903. From then on\, her life was overshadowed by wars\, revolutions\, and periods of exile. She suffered a nervous breakdown and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and transferred in 1930—against her will—to a sanatorium in Switzerland. Noted biographer Hugo Vickers will explore the Princess’s remarkable life and describe how she overcame seemingly unsurmountable difficulties devoting herself to charity work and helping the poor. Mr. Vickers will talk about her royal beginnings and her married and family life; explain about her hospitalization and escape; and detail her move to Athens in 1938. He will describe her charity work before and during World War II—including hiding a Jewish family at her home at great personal risk—and her foundation of the “Christian Brotherhood of Martha and Mary.” Finally\, he will illustrate her 1967 move to live with her son and his family at Buckingham Palace and discuss how her incredible philanthropic work led posthumous honors in Britain and Israel—where she is buried at the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene in Jerusalem. Join Royal Oak as we learn about a remarkable member of the Royal family whose life was as tumultuous and extraordinary as the times in which she lived. \nHugo Vickers is well known as a biographer\, lecturer and broadcaster\, and is an acknowledged expert on the Royal Family. He has covered events from the first wedding of the Prince of Wales and other royal weddings; the funerals of the Queen Mother\, Prince Philip\, the State Funeral and Committal of The Queen; and the Coronation of Charles III. The Financial Times recently described him as ‘the most knowledgeable royal biographer on the planet.’ He has written many biographies of 20th-century figures\, including Cecil Beaton\, Vivien Leigh\, the Duchess of Windsor\, Princess Andrew of Greece\, and the Queen Mother. In 2022\, he published a book with HRH The Duke of Kent\, entitled A Royal Life. In 2024\, Mr. Vickers published a novel – Pining in Paradise – and his biography of Clarissa\, Countess of Avon (widow of PM Anthony Eden). When not writing\, he travels through the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories\, establishing Commonwealth Walkways. Mr. Vickers is a Deputy Lieutenant for the Royal County of Berkshire and Captain of the Lay Stewards of St George’s Chapel\, Windsor Castle. He has given too many lectures in too many places to keep track. \n\nThe rental period has closed for this program.
