Suzannah Lipscomb is a historian and academic, specialising in the 16th century, who has written and appeared in a number of television series about British history.

Education

Lipscomb was educated at Nonsuch High School for Girls and Lincoln and Balliol colleges of Oxford University. She was awarded her D.Phil. from Oxford in 2009 with a dissertation entitled Maids, Wives, and Mistresses : Disciplined Women in Reformation Languedoc. While completing her dissertation she also worked as a curator at Hampton Court Palace where she was responsible for organising a series of exhibitions held throughout the spring and summer of 2009 to mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII of England's accession to the throne.

Career

Lipscomb was a lecturer in history at the University of East Anglia.

In 2011 Lipscomb was awarded an Arts & Humanities Research Council-sponsored KTP Award, "Humanities for the Creative Economy".

She became a member the faculty at New College of the Humanities in 2012 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Lipscomb co-presented I Never Knew That About Britain, for ITV (2014). The series was described as "too busy adorning the obvious with bunting to uncover anything truly fascinating".

She wrote and presented Henry and Anne: the lovers who changed history for Channel 5. The Telegraph called it "dumbed-down tommyrot."

She wrote and presented Hidden Killers of the Victorian Home for BBC Four, as well as the follow up shows New Hidden Killers of the Victorian Home, and Hidden Killers of the Edwardian Home. Clive James gave Hidden Killers of the Edwardian Home a positive review, "principally because Ms Lipscomb was almost as fascinating as her subject."

She contributed to five episodes of The Secret Life Of: for the Yesterday Channel. The series was designed to give "tabloid treatment of historical icons" and includes an episode where Lipscomb and co-host Lucy Worsley "revel in raunchy titbits" about Henry VIII's love life. Lipscomb also contributed to Time Team, Series 20, for Channel 4.

With Joe Crowley she presented Bloody Tales of Europe and Bloody Tales of the Tower for National Geographic Channel.
