Crowning Glory

You may not immediately spot the newest addition to Cliffe Castle’s rich and fascinating collections, but it’s taken two craftspeople many hours to create. Strange as it might sound, however, they would be very pleased to know their work is so easily overlooked.

You may remember last year, when we were pleased to announce the return of the portrait of Queen Victoria by Lowes Cato Dickinson to Cliffe Castle after it left us over half a century ago.

Art of the Samurai

Many of our visitors to Cliffe Castle earlier this year enjoyed the exhibition of artwork inspired by or depicting Samurai that we had on display in the Bracewell Smith Hall. Although the artworks are now safely back in storage, we wanted to be able to share them with you still, so Dale Keeton, our talented conservator, who made it all look spectacular and Ernest, our wonderful volunteer have written this blog to provide some additional insights.
