That was a wonderful video. Beautifully narrated. Absolute pleasure from start to finish.
A beautifully crafted video, very well narrated , and totally absorbing, I was an art student in Norwich in the late 70s, I wish I'd paid more attention to my surroundings instead of spending too much time in the pub !
Loved the narration.
A superb video: marvelously informative tour that includes vast quantities of data that entertains with a wink and a nod. Lady Buxton, a beauty, uses her eyes to engage the viewer as does her dialog that is so well written and delivered with perfection. Surely this video should win an award; it is a paradigm that others should follow. History comes alive in this work. Whimsy met knowledge and brought forth a beautifully photographed tour. I look forward to returning to the Hall in person . What a treat that will be.
Thank you Susan, that is so kind and really lovely to hear! We're so glad you enjoyed the film. We look forward to seeing you back at Strangers' Hall soon!
Many happy memories of exploring Stangers Hall, most recent visit in 2009 with my youngest son, who was fascinated by the lute player. My wheelchair-bound mother was able to watch a video on the ground floor. This production is a great asset, and I will view it often now that we're confined to Australia for the duration. Thank you for this wonderful memory.
Hi Jean, many thanks for sharing those happy memories! We're glad that this film is comforting for those who are unable to visit in person, both due to the current pandemic and to geographical distance.
I was particularly interested in the harp in the music room. My grandmother was given a harp as a wedding present from my grandfather. When my grandmother died my father donated it to a Norwich museum. I'm sure that is the one in the video. I do have a black and white photo of it with my grandfather grandmother, greatgrandmother and daughter. It looks identical.
Hi Mary, thank you for sharing! That sounds really interesting - if you're able to share it, we would love to see the photo. If you would like to, you can message Norfolk Museums or Strangers' Hall on Facebook, or email strangershall@hotmail.co.uk.
