Strange Ways To Die in the Tudor Ages

Emily has always loved everything historical and is a fountain of knowledge about the Tudor period, particularly in medicine. Born and raised in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Emily comes from a strong and affectionate family whose support she could not live without. Whilst obtaining a degree in Forensic and Investigative Studies from Coventry University, Emily decided to try and indulge one of her other passions of musical theatre by joining a society where she was approached by a strange Brummie who has hung around ever since. As well as working as a full-time IT technician, Emily always makes time for her creative passions. She is a Senior Production Assistant and leading actress for Purple Dreams Productions, a touring theatre company and, along with Carrie, an avid member of The Watlington Players. You can also find Emily on the radio waves on weekend mornings with her shows on Radio West Norfolk.

Born and raised in Birmingham, England, Carrie has had a deep passion for the past from an early age, something her parents encouraged. Spending many weekends wandering wide-eyed around Warwick Castle or exploring nearby National Trust properties - when she was not lost in a book, Carrie learned as much as she could about history with a particular enthusiasm for the ancient and mediaeval worlds. Whilst studying for a music degree at Coventry University, she crossed paths with Emily through their shared love of the TV show Supernatural, and the two have been friends ever since. Moving down to Norfolk in 2014, Carrie continued her love of the past, eventually obtaining a master’s degree in Classics in 2019. Carrie now works as a Research and Data Analyst and is an active member of the Watlington Players amateur dramatic group.
