In the Museum we have mainly been concentrating on our winter exhibition “Fulham Palace through the Great War". Amongst the exhibits is a recent acquisition; the wonderful large photograph donated by Barbara Mann showing the patients and nursing staff outside the east front in 1919. This free exhibition is on in Bishop Sherlock’s Room during museum opening hours (Sunday 12 to 4pm; Monday to Thursday 12.30 to 3.30pm) until 16 April 2015. We are most grateful to the wonderful team of volunteers who helped with the displays and the first of our linked events "Reflections of the Great War" which took place in the Chapel on 14 November, led by Sophie Raworth. Do look in the What's On section of the website for future talks relating to the exhibition.
Another recent addition to the collection is a newspaper article about the tea given by Bishop Winnington-Ingram to 1000 maidservants in 1902 to celebrate the Coronation of Edward VII. This provides the context for the brooch that was acquired for the Museum earlier this year and which is on display in the Porteus Library.
