Renishaw Recollections
As part of Renishaw Hall & Garden’s 2014 season, which
opens on March 29th, Christine Beevers, Renishaw Hall’s archivist,
is asking people with personal and family links to the hall and estate to come
forward and get in touch. Named ‘Renishaw Recollections’, Christine’s project hopes to
use the memories told to help shape the history of Renishaw Hall, and give more
insight in to the way the estate functioned, through the experiences of the
people working for the family.
Visitors can tell their Renishaw family stories to Christine
by contacting her via enquiries@renishaw-hall.co.uk or visiting
the Estate Office during opening hours from March 29th to
September 28th2014. Renishaw Hall & Gardens will be also hosting a World War
I talk, given by Christine, as she explores the archive to find the Sitwell
family’s many links to First World War on the centenary of the year of its
outbreak. Important artefacts – not normally on view to the public – will be brought
out of the house archives and displayed and explained during the talk. Dates
TBC, during the summer months 2014. Check www.renishaw-hall.co.uk
for updates.
