This will include a talk, ‘Four Lords (plus Ladies) and their ‘improvements’ to Wollaton Park in the eighteenth century’ by Megan Doole.
Little has been known about any physical alterations made at Wollaton by the Willoughby family in the eighteenth century. A current History PhD research project has used the Middleton Collection at the University of Nottingham Archives to fill in some of the gaps and increase understanding of existing knowledge. Some of the project's findings will be discussed in this short talk. Project funded by Midlands3Cities/AHRC in partnership with Nottingham City Museums.
