WHAT'S NEW

A rare portrait photograph of Mrs Brandreth has been found by David Hill. As far as we know it is the only one that exists. It was taken in 1865 at Houghton Hall by a window on the garden side of the hall. The picture can be seen in our archive together with a description in the Collection "The Brandreths".

The Society obtained permission from Paul Frecker the copyright owner for it to be placed in our archive. Rob Brandreth Gibbs said that he had never seen the picture before and was very grateful to us for pointing it out to him.

Be aware the use of the images on any form of media including Facebook require our permission before ordering. Have you seen our new professional website? if you are interested in heritage why not join us?. We hope you will enjoy looking at the many pictures in this archive.
