Abstract
In the early 1760s, landowner Sir John Hussey Delaval began a major programme of renovation at Doddington Hall on the outskirts of Lincoln. As part of this, three sets of antique Flemish tapestries were hung in the Hall’s primary bedchambers. Aside from one set which was sold, these remained in situ until they were removed for conservation between 2010 and 2014. This work-in-progress presentation introduces the original research being undertaken by the author into the tapestries. The research project will aim to contextualise the tapestries within narratives of collecting, consumption, display and identity, and in doing so, contribute to mediation by heritage stakeholders of the tapestries’ histories and meanings.
