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, as well as hosting the successful A Nice Cup of Histortea Podcast with Emily, which enjoys a global listenership.
