We're taking over Eastgate House, Rochester, for an afternoon on the 14th February. Join us in the glorious Elizabethan building, once home to the mayor, for an open house from 1pm to 5pm with stations through the rooms of the house: drama, music, fencing, and virtual-reality exploration (with www.middlingculture.com). And cartoon bears. We'll also be giving a talk at 6pm.
What did pet dogs look like and how were they described? Although the idea of a “pet” does not quite exist in this period, this list contains detailed descriptions of a wide range of Elizabethan dogs owned by men and women of the age.
