Derw Thomas, House and Collections Manager said, “We are thrilled to have these letters back at Berrington. They offer us a real insight into what the boys were like, and what their life was like during the war.”
Plans are underway to share these newly acquired letters with visitors next year, as part of the story of the Cawleys. We are looking for ways to tell the story of what life was like after the war for Lord and Lady Cawley and their remaining two children. These letters offer this and give a sense of the grief that was felt from the losses of the war, and its terrible aftermath.
We hope to update you soon with any progress on this new exhibition and how the letters will feature.
