About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Juliet Braidwood is a historian specialising in living history. She made her first Tudor dress at the age of eleven, and later discovered a Tudor manor house called Kentwell Hall – renowned for its high-quality historical recreations. As a result, her interest in 16th Century dress escalated significantly. She still takes part in their Great Re-Creations of Tudor life each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has worked as a costumed historical interpreter at events held at a wide variety of places, including Castle Coch, Christchurch College Oxford, and the National Horse Racing Museum. She has given talks and workshops as part of the AHRC funded Making Historical Dress Network, and was part of the team working on the Society of Antiquities funded Greensleeves Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

She gained her degree in History at Royal Holloway University of London, where she looked as much as possible at English women\u2019s fashion in the Early Modern period. Her dissertation focussed on Historical Interpretation, particularly Living History.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently she works primarily at Athelhampton House, where she has set up their living history events as well as running their schools programme and undertaking research on the families who used to live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
