About Me

Hello, I’m Evie — welcome to History Larking.

As a historian, I believe curiosity is essential to living a joyful, meaningful life. For me, history has always been a refuge, a playground, and a source of infinite wonder!

Every good story has already taken place; they live in the past, waiting to be unearthed! Growing up in Cornwall, history was never something half-dead on a dusty page — it’s alive in the landscape, in places and sites that hold these narratives.

Let’s dive in together!

My aim is to bring Cornish history to life- through tours, workshops, talks, and film.

This is the place for research rabbit holes, discovering perspectives that might startle or inspire us, and storytelling tied to place.

The people in the past lived, and we get a chance to inhabit their world.

Let’s lark around in the past together!
