Juliet Braidwood
Juliet Braidwood is a historian specialising in living history.
She gained her degree at Royal Holloway University of London, and has set up living history events at
Athelhampton House, as well as working as a Living Historian
at places including the National Horseracing Museum and Castle Coch.
She is currently researching the history of the Martyn family, who lived at Athelhampton Hall in the 16th Century,
uncovering personal stories not just of those who owned the surrounding land, but also of the people who lived and worked there.
Her main sewing project currently is a re-creation of the early 16th Century embroidered waistcoat in the Burrell Collection,
which has very similar embroidery to another one in Bath Fashion Museum. Along side this, she is working on patterning the extant
19th Century garments in her collection, and then making those patterns available for others to use for making and research.
