Every month we are going to feature two blogs written by volunteers, one will describe an object in the Palace and one a plant from the Garden. It is great way for us all to learn more about the Palace, if you would like to contribute there is no set format so send us your ideas!
Field Marshal George Wade (1673-1748)
Field Marshal George Wade may be the odd one out in Bishop Sherlock’s Room of Portraits, but the more I discover about his life the more fascinated I become. He has a huge list of achievements, including building over 250 roads and around 30 bridges in the Highland of Scotland.
I have recently visited Westminster Abbey, where he is buried, and there is a large monument in the nave, in his memory.
