My Latest News
Welcome! I’m Lucy Worsley, by day Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, and by night a writer of history books.
My most recent book is A Very British Murder, the history of how the British have enjoyed crime, and it builds on my BBC Four series of the same title that was shown in January. My next series, The First Georgians, will be on in April, and you can read more about the topic in my book The Courtiers.
Thanks for visiting, do come on in & look around, and I hope to meet you in the flesh at one of my talks some day!
