Sewerby Hall in Time of War

23 March — 1 September 2013 *on now

Duty Calls at Sewerby Hall will contrast the experiences of the Lloyd Greame family and their estate workers during the First World War with what happened during the Second World War.

In the inter-war years, the shifting fortunes of country house estates resulted in the house being sold off to Bridlington council for whom the gardens were more important.

The house was subsequently requisitioned and served as a convalescent home for RAF personnel: a world away from being the nerve centre of a landed estate.

Suitable for

  • Any age

Admission

Free with admission.
