The THC interns have been able to handle some of the incredibly vibrant quilts in the collection. Both the tumbling block pattern and hexagonal flower mosaic contain their original foundation papers, preserving scrap fragments of regency handwriting as charming time capsules!

Hello! Foodie message from our Tabley House interns:

The Tabley House receipt book contains some delicious historic recipes that look familiar to us today like lamb pie and rice pudding. There are also some less familiar concoctions… oyster sausages anyone?

In this painting by William Hilton, a man falls prey to 'The Mermaid of Galloway'.

Attention! Message from THC Interns: '1st Lord de Tabley looking regal in this grand portrait by Reynolds. Tabley was named ‘the greatest patron of the native school of painting that our Island ever possessed,’ responsible for amassing THC's amazing collection of British art.'

Back-to-Back Messages from THC interns: ' C. R. Leslie’s dramatic painting of The Mermaid of Galloway, inspired by Scottish folklore. Here a young man appears lifeless among a stormy seascape, subject to the charismatic powers of a mermaid. How sad, noble - and melodramatic.
