Two slightly unrelated topics, except that they have formed a large part of our work over the last few months, which has just been made public.<\/p>\n
I won’t go on about it, but as you probably know, our C. P. Davies Collection<\/a> was used by the Restoration Man team to uncover the history of Reed Mill, the first restoration of the new series. The episode is available through Channel 4 on Demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s the windmills; the warfare is our Canterbury at War exhibition. Although the exhibition has a few more weeks to run (it officially closes on 31st January), we have now made the exhibition website live. To get a taster of the exhibition, or to follow the storyline once the exhibition has closed, have a look at the exhibitions section<\/a> on our website.<\/p>\n We’ve also put together a new display in the Templeman foyer about Murder in the Cathedral<\/em> – T.S. Eliot’s play, commisioned for the Canterbury Festival in 1935, which depicts the murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, on 29th December 1170. If you happen to be passing, do take a look!<\/p>\n New for this term is an exhibition about Charles Dickens and the theatre, drawing on our extensive Victorian and Edwardian Theatre Collecitons – so watch this space for developments throughout 2012…<\/p>\n
