Hello, and welcome to the Historiette site
My name is Tiana Wilson-Buys. I love history – always have. And I love sharing my history explorations with other like-minded people. Hence the birth of Historiette.
I have a particular interest in the medieval period (but I do explore and write about other historical periods too!). And I love buildings and architecture in general. So it’s no surprise then that you can often find me exploring medieval churches, old town walls, castles and forts. And then I share my experiences with others – here and on social media.
You see, I believe we all need to know more about our history. Our heritage. This is where we come from. It is part of our DNA. For me, understanding more about our history somehow completes me, in a way. And what is more fun than going on mini adventures to explore the past?
I hope, through Historiette, to inspire more people to explore amazing historical sites and buildings.
I invite you to explore the wonderful world of history with me.
Tiana
