Amy Wilkinson

ave a BA in Classical Literature and History from the University of Leeds, and an MA in Museum Studies from the University of Leicester. I have been involved in the museum sector since I was seventeen, volunteering as a tour guide at Epworth Old Rectory. Knowing that my career goal was to work in museums, hands-on with history, I went on to curate an exhibition at Epworth Old Rectory in 2017-2018, was part of their collections care team, and in summer 2019 joined their staff as Website and Social Media Assistant.

In November 2018 I spent a month with The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon, playing Anne Hathaway as First-Person Interpreter at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage.

I completed my MA Museum Studies from September 2019-September 2020. Following this I joined the staff of Englesea Brook in May 2021, where I am lucky enough to care for the incredible collection and curate exhibitions as Heritage Officer.
