Decoding the Treshams: Lives Through Letters

Concealed within the walls of Rushton Hall for over 200 years, these remarkable documents survived in secret before being uncovered centuries later. The discovery of these letters provide a unique insight into the lives of this family and the world they inhabited. Through hidden meanings, coded language, and intimate exchanges, this exhibition invites you to read between the lines and uncover the voices, relationships, and secrets preserved within the letters.
