Lord Shaftesbury’s interest in the building and his family history has led to cataloguing and conservation work on the archives of the estate and the family. Richard Samways, Shaftesbury Estate Archivist, and Jenny Barnard, Dorset History Centre Conservation Officer, will also share their work on the collection. Some highlights from the Shaftesbury family archive will be on display.<\/p>\n
