Title
Newburgh Priory, the Long Gallery - HLS05955
Description
Slide 28 - the Long Gallery Newburgh Hall
The Long Gallery situate in the east wing of the House, contains so many objects of interest that time would fail us to give a full catalogue of them.
Hung in a glass case is the uniform of the 7th Lancers, worn by Sir George Wombwell in the charge of Balaclava, October 25th, 1854. In another case is the uniform and accouterments of Stephen, the second son of Sir George Wombwell who went out to South Africa and died there, during the Boer War. Portraits of Thomas, Earl of Fauconberg and Mary Cromwell, are also hung in the Gallery.
Newburgh contains a wealth of oaken wainscotting and paneling, and much substantial old furniture, including quaint coffers, chests, highbacked chairs etc that form a veritable museum of old furniture, and many fine specimens are to be seen in the Long Gallery.
