Silhouettes of Society: A fashion exhibition through the decades

This exhibition celebrates the life of Lady Iliffe through fashion and design. From hosting glamorous society events and parties at Basildon Park to her work with the Red Cross throughout her life. The exhibition is inspired by a Vogue article published in July 1966 titled 'Lord and Lady Iliffe's triple entente', featuring Lady Iliffe herself. The exhibition features pieces ranging from Lady Iliffes wedding in 1938 through to the 1980's. There are elements of Lord Iliffe's life and style through tailoring and key pieces on loan. Some of the pieces are from the Basildon Park collection and others have been kindly loaned by the London Fashion and Textiles museum alongside Killerton, National Trust based in Devon.

More about Purley on Thames

Berkshire, England

Purley on Thames sits quietly in Berkshire with a river running through its heart, making it the perfect spot for a long walk before tea. The local community halls often host family days that keep the children entertained without needing to leave the village. It is a place where neighbours actually know each other's names and wave when they pass on the high street. Evenings here are filled with live music in pubs or talks at the library that spark proper debate over a pint. You can catch an art exhibition or join a quiz night without hunting across the country for entertainment. Near Here keeps track of what is happening so you do not have to guess if there is anything on tonight.
