Christmas at Belvoir Castle
Christmas at Belvoir Castle
Today’s article is rather different to my usual ones, as today’s is a rather early festive post and will be the last one for this year, as I’m taking a short break until  the new year, when I’ll return with plenty more tales from the Georgian period for you. © Sarah Murden I recently had the pleasure to visit the historic Belvoir Castle (pronounced Beaver), which stands above the Vale of Belvoir,…

With its opulent regency decor, and stunning 18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, The King’s Room was one of my favourites during my recent tour of Belvoir Castle. The wallpaper in this suite of rooms, plus a deep dive into the Castle’s archives, was the inspiration behind one de Gournay’s most recent projects, de Gournay x Belvoir, which now adorns one of the Castle’s State Bedrooms. @belvoircastle @degournay #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #castle #countryhome #countryhouse #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryhousestyle #sibylcolefaxandjohnfowler #colefaxandfowler #degournay #chinoiserie #handpaintedwallpaper #chinesewallpaper #18thcentury #interior #interiors #decor #decoration #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #regency #regencyera #daybed #antique #antiquefurniture #flowers (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosPL1aoEEM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Witches of Belvoir Castle
Tumblr media
Source: Media Storehouse website
On this day in 1618, six alleged witches were hanged in Lincoln. Unlike many of the unfortunate women executed for witchcraft as a result of petty jealousy, malicious gossip or primitive superstition, these “witches” openly admitted to dabbling in the black arts and using them to commit murder. Joan Flower and her daughters, Margaret and Philippa, worked for the Earl and Countess of Rutland as servants in Belvoir Castle. When the women were dismissed after being caught red-handed stealing some of the family silver, they turned to witchcraft to exact their revenge. Apparently Joan and her daughters, joined by three other witches recruited by Joan - Anne Baker, Joan Willimot and Ellen Green - put together a series of malicious spells which, it is said, led to the death of the Rutlands’ youngest sons. Not stopping there, the Belvoir Castle witches then cursed their former employers with sterility. The group let it be known they were behind the tragedies and were soon arrested and brought before a court.
Part of the prosecution’s evidence was that when asked to eat a loaf of bread, Joan choked, a sure sign of a witch. It should perhaps be mentioned that this “test” consisted of shoving the bread down the suspected witch’s throat as far as it would go, inevitably causing a choking reaction. The women were duly executed. Thieves and troublemakers the women may have been, but witches almost certainly not. Their real crime was perhaps to be defiant towards Rutland at a time of rigid class division and structural misogyny.

David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland Born: May 8, 1959, England Physique: Husky Build
David Charles Robert Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, is a British hereditary peer and landowner. Rutland is the elder son of Charles Manners, the 10th Duke of Rutland. He succeeded his father in the titles on 4 January 1999. The Duke was a high-profile supporter of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and has hosted fundraising events at Belvoir Castle.
Judging a book by its cover, he seems like the type who fucks a lot and will cheat as soon as he's not getting enough sex. Wait... so he's separated in 2012 from his wife with whom he had five children. Called it. And they've been living together ever since his affair with separate partners.

A Year in Review : Jamie's 2023
Tumblr media
Welcome to our look back on Jamie’s 2023! It’s been a tough year for the entertainment industry in general, with the SAG-AFTRA strike taking place from July all the way through to November, and we know that this impacted Jamie as he chose to take a stand along with many of his other acting peers. Yet despite this, Jamie has accomplished a lot in this year & it’s time to look back at some of the highlights!
Tumblr media
February saw the release of Beyond Paradise on BBC1. Jamie played Archie Hughes, an ex flame of Martha’s who joined forces with her in getting her new business in Shipton Abbott up and running. Unfortunately for Archie, Martha had moved back to Shipton Abbott with her fiance, Humphrey and the two didn’t quite see eye to eye. This was such a fun role for Jamie and a complete joy to watch.
Tumblr media
April was an exciting month which saw Jamie celebrating his 50th birthday and as always we marked the occasion with a birthday video which many of you took part in! He also travelled over to Cannes to premiere Cannes Confidential at  the 6th Canneseries Festival alongside co-stars Lucie Lucas and Tamara Marthe.
Tumblr media
May saw Jamie treading the boards once again in Uncle Glen’s Menagerie at the Arcola Theatre which we were lucky enough to go and watch. Such an incredible evening of ad-lib comedy and superb acting from an incredible group of actors and comedians. As ever we want to thank Jamie for his time that he spent chatting with us before and after the show too.
Tumblr media
In June finally came the UK release of Cannes Confidential on Acorn TV and we LOVED Harry King from the moment we met him. Such a fun, easy watching show and such a complex character in which Jamie got to show off all sides of his talent, from comedy through to some really beautiful emotional moments, especially in scenes with his on-screen daughter Emilie who was played by his real life daughter Ava in a brilliant debut performance. June also saw the release of Trader over in Russia - a project which Jamie filmed alongside his amazing wife Kerry all the way back in 2019! And of course, we cannot forget the epic BSG reunion which took place when Jamie headed over to Phoenix Fan Fusion. #SoSayWeAll
Tumblr media
July brought some incredible news as Jamie announced that he was taking part in Kenny Logan’s RWC Challenge - an epic 700 mile cycle & walking challenge from Edinburgh to Paris, all to raise money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. Throughout July all the way through to October when the challenge took place, Jamie was training hard to ensure that he was ready for the mammoth challenge ahead.
Tumblr media
August saw the release of Who Is Erin Carter? on Netflix - a twisty, fast paced thriller from the mind of Strike Back writer, Jack Lothian. Jamie played DI Jim Armstrong, a mysterious figure from Erin’s past. Though he was only in two episodes. We LOVED this character and with the series being left open ended, we really hope we get to see more of Jim in the future.
Tumblr media
In September, Jamie attended the National Television Awards alongside his Beyond Paradise cast mates as the show was nominated for Best New Drama (which sadly it didn’t win).
Tumblr media
And onto October which was such an important month for Jamie as all the training paid off when he & so many other incredible people including Kenny & Gabby Logan, Ally McCoist, Jason Fox and Jimmy Nesbitt started their gruelling trek on bike and foot from Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to the Stade de France in Paris. This challenge was hugely life changing for the whole team (as well as a whole lot of fun!) and they smashed their target of raising £555,555 between them for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. We were honoured to be able to cheer them all on for a small part of this journey when we saw them off in York on day 3 and welcomed them back as they ended the day at the beautiful Belvoir Castle. To top off an incredible achievement, Jamie was also asked to become an ambassador for the foundation - a role we know that he will embody so well.
October also saw Jamie joining Cameo, giving fans the opportunity to get a personalised video message from him (which we of course took advantage of also!) and to round off the month, Cannes Confidential aired on French TV, renamed  Cannes Police Criminalle, with the entire show having been dubbed into French by the original cast.
Tumblr media
November saw Jamie as a guest on fellow RWC Challenge team mate Archie Curzon’s podcast, The Rig Biz Pod, which was a brilliantly funny interview.
Tumblr media
And to round the year off, December gave us announcements of not one but two new projects to look forward to in 2024! Firstly, Heavyweight, starring and produced by Jamie’s Marcella co-star Nicholas Pinnock, will be a gritty London drama focusing on the mental state of a boxer and his cornermen backstage before the fight as the clock ticks down. 
With the strike finally over, Jamie travelled to Bulgaria to film Strangers alongside Sienna Guillory, Emmett J Scanlan and Jon Voight. The project is described as an action thriller and will be released in 2024 on Paramount Plus.
As well as these two exciting announcements, AKA Blackbird, the brainchild of BSG alumni James Callis was finally released as an audiobook! With so many former BSG stars taking part in it, including Jamie and Kerry, it’s definitely not one to be missed.
And there you have it! Despite some difficult times, Jamie really did achieve a lot this year and with 2 projects already to look forward to, we can’t wait to see what else 2024 has in store.
As ever, we would like to thank you for all the support of our page over this past year and wish you all a very happy new year!
Jemma and Sophie. xx
