Conservation work on show for hall’s visitors
Visitors will be able to see at first hand the detailed work involved in repair and inspection to the canvas and frames. House steward Rob Turpin said: “In previous years any painting requiring conservation would be sent away, with the walls left blank in their absence. By carrying out the work in the hall we can not only keep the paintings on site but give the opportunity for people to view the work at close quarters, ask questions and gain a greater understanding of why it’s important to conserve such important pieces of the Beningbrough collection.” PICTURE: JAMES HARDIsty
