Hi there and thanks for your comments. The restoration of the staircase was completed three years ago. At that point the major re-wire was yet to find funding and support. You can be sure that we will be taking every precaution to both the carpet and the balustrade. The carpet cover is arriving in the next three weeks so we are feeling very confident that all will be well.
Please keep an eye on the blog as work progresses, Kindest regards and thanks for the good wishes.

Surely it would have made more sense to re-paint the staircase and lay new carpet AFTER the restoration of the castle and not before?! Hope it doesn’t get damaged and everything goes well.

Hope the packing is going well for the team at Cliffe Castle. We look forward to the re-opening next year.

Looks like a big project! Hope it all goes well and I’ll miss Cliffe whilst its closed.

This particular sampler would be used as a reference piece. Each band is comprised of a different pattern or design. You can see roses, thistles, oak leaves and acorns. You can even spot some animals.

They are very similar in style. One dress has a much lower neckline – we think that this may have belonged to the elder of the two sisters as it was generally expected that younger women should dress more demurely.

Thanks to the staff for showing us round the expanded costume stores and sharing so many insights. We were glad to support this work and to hear about the next big project – gathering Bradford’s excellent print collection in its own room at Cartwright Hall.
