About the talk
This talk takes viewers on a deep dive into some of the incredible stories of love, loss and longing that can be found in the collection at Ham House. The items, many of which are not usually on view to the public, include a mourning ring, hair earrings, and a memorial plaque and painting. Their hidden histories cover everything from dramatic duelling deaths to romantic elopements.
