Suzannah Rebecca Gabriella Lipscomb (born 7 December 1978) is a British historian, academic and television presenter who has written and appeared in a number of television and radio programmes about British history.
Lipscomb grew up in Surrey near Hampton Court Palace which she credits for sowing "the seeds of a lifelong fascination with the Tudors". She was educated at Nonsuch High School for Girls, Epsom College, and Lincoln and Balliol colleges of the University of Oxford. She was awarded her Doctorate of Philosophy 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. The programme won the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) sponsored KTP Award for Humanities for the Creative Economy. See page 20 of. She is a consultant to Historic Royal Palaces and is an external member of their research strategy board.
In May 2016, Lipscomb was one of 300 prominent historians, including Simon Schama and Niall Ferguson, who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian warning voters that if they chose to leave the European Union on 23 June they would be condemning Britain to irrelevance.
In 2011 Suzannah commentated live on the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton as part of the CTV (Canadian Television) studio coverage from Buckingham Palace.
Lipscomb was a lecturer in history at the University of East Anglia. In 2011 Lipscomb was awarded an Arts and Humanities Research Council-sponsored KTP Award, "Humanities for the Creative Economy".
