A World of Wonder - Wollaton Hall and Park

A World of Wonder - Wollaton Hall and Park As well as the wonderful Wollaton Watch live broadcast there is lots on offer from Wollaton Hall and Park. Wollaton Hall is a magnificent Tudor mansion built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby. At the moment the deer park and gardens are open and the cafes are serving takeaways. There are 500 acres of parkland to explore and enjoy. Since the fourteenth century, herds of deer have roamed the park which is home to all kinds of habitats, including a large lake, grassland, wetland and woodland. There are over 90 red and 120 fallow deer at Wollaton. These wild deer are incredible to see, though keep a safe distance at all times. Natural History is the study of the whole natural world, not only living things like animals and plants but also including rocks, minerals and fossils. Wollaton Hall has been the home of Nottingham’s Natural History Museum since 1926 and has more than 750,000 natural history objects. We have fossils, minerals, plants and eggs, invertebrates, vertebrates, shells (molluscs) and taxidermy, as well as preserved ‘spirit’ animals and rare specimens from across the globe. At the moment the galleries are being changed to be filled with even more fascinating objects. On the ground floor the Bird Room has been refurbished and we have some new additions like our King Penguin Missy. We also have new cases in the Great Hall and the fish room has been completely restored with a huge sunfish and other prime specimens on display. Come along to see our new displays as soon as the museum opens. A winter activity - you can do this even if it’s not below freezing but it is particularly good for winter days. Come to Wollaton Park and collect some natural materials that have fallen to the ground such as leaves, twigs, cones, seeds, feathers and berries. Arrange the objects in a shallow container like a takeaway box, place a piece of string, twine or ribbon so a loop sticks out of the box, cover the arrangement with water, making sure the part of the string/ribbon/twine in the box is covered. Place in the freezer overnight. When your ice decoration is frozen, carefully take it out of the container and hang on a tree, bush or fence post in your garden or on a balcony or just hang outside your window. On a cold day that’s below freezing it will last for ages! For more activities and information about Wollaton Hall and Deer Park take a look at our website. https://wollatonhall.org.uk/ There are lots of ideas for helping scientists from your own home on our blog https://wollatonhall.org.uk/european-research-night-2020/ and more “museum at home” activities on https://wollatonhall.org.uk/museum-at-home-lets-make-our-own-spirit-jars/ https://wollatonhall.org.uk/museum-at-home-lets-make-a-museum-of-me/ https://wollatonhall.org.uk/museum-at-home-herbaruim-flower-pressing/ We would love to see your ice art or other Museum at Home creations.

COOKE Queen Elizabeth never slept here : Cassandra, Duchess of Chandos, as an authority for royal progresses Cassandra Brydges (1670-1735), Duchess of Chandos, was the daughter of Francis Willoughby of Wollaton, Notts, and Middleton, Warws, and sister of Thomas Willoughby, first Baron Middleton .1 She compiled (in John Coldewey's words) a'lively and personal' manuscript history of her father's family (Nottingham University Library : MSS Ml LM 26 & 27), based on an extensive collection of family papers, not all of which have survived . This has provided some useful references for Professor John Coldewey's REED collection for Nottinghamshire, now in progress . It also appears, at a first reading, to be a valuable source for reconstructing the movements of Elizabeth i and James i on progress ; but research done as part of the checking process for Professor Coldewey's collection has shown that in these matters Cassandra's history must be used with caution .
