To keep the Palace’s activities running through the second lockdown, we have designed a series of lectures that will be delivered live through Zoom! Don’t worry if you can’t always make it to a Zoom call ; they will all be recorded to be watched later, at any time.
The first of our lectures was a fascinating insight into the portrait of Bishop Porteus that has recently returned to Bishop Sherlock’s room following conservation work. The talk was led by Lisa, curator at the Palace, Roxane Burke, collections and conservation assistant and Jim Diamond, paintings conservator, who discussed the conservation process and the Bishop’s role in abolishing the transatlantic slave trade in Britain in the late 19th century.
