Some of the most beautiful things we inherit are recipes that are handwritten, flour-dusted, and folded into the rhythm of the place we call home

Welcome

I’m Laura Billington an author, creative archivist, and storyteller of lost heritage and I believe we are always creating.

Not just meals, memories or photographs — but lives. 


We create through our choices, our rituals, the objects we hold onto, the stories we tell, the way we set a table, or arrange a shelf, or return to a place that makes us feel like ourselves.


For years, I created through food. I have built a full time  career in the cheese industry  and crafting visual content that celebrated abundance, simplicity, and togetherness. 


I wrote my first book, Inspired Grazing, and shared seasonal recipes with people who, like me, believed that food could be both art and comfort.


But over time, I felt called to something deeper.


To silence. To stories. To rooms no longer lived in, and names fading from deeds. 


I began collecting antique objects, estate maps, old letters, and found photographs, small, quiet things that once meant everything to someone. And through them, I found my voice and my peace again.


Now, my work sits at the intersection of memory, land, and storytelling.


I call myself a Creative archivist of lost heritage  not because I trained in archives, but because I’m devoted to preserving the feeling and texture of the past: through writing, research, and reimagining. 


I love to uncover the quiet, overlooked stories behind objects, homes, recipes, and landscapes and bring them back into the light.



What I Create Now:


  • The Heirloom Diaries – a series of short stories inspired by antiques and rural domestic life, threaded with seasonal food and emotional memory.


  • The Fall of the Great Estates – a growing archive and research project exploring land ownership, loss, and the transformation of England’s country estates from 1800 to WWII.


  • Visual content and storytelling Professionally in the cheese industry, my work is rooted in craft, culture, and heritage.


This is creative love, which for me is to honour the past and  feel something real....


To create is to preserve.

To preserve is to love.


And that’s all I want to do with my work:

to create with care, to remember with purpose, and to invite others to slow down and look more closely at what’s been left behind.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
