Last week we hosted our last public scaffolding tours of the North Wing. An extraordinary & uplifting 6 months with over 2,500 people enjoying the spectacle of the Great Hall ceiling & Hogarth paintings under conservation. So proud of the @BartsHeritage team. 🙏 @HeritageFundL_S

Pleased to be supporting Brasenose and this exciting project.
Brasenose alumnus @Will_Palin is the first Patron of our Frewin Hall Fundraising Campaign. His passion for architectural history, writing, heritage, and conservation, combined with his deep connection to BNC spanning generations, makes his involvement especially significant.

The conservation of the stained glass has been generously supported by @bartsleagueofn1 & @thepilgrimtrust 🙏🙏👏 #SharingHistoricBarts
