In 2018 we hosted Strange Perfume for a Queer Culture Book Fair 🌈 We hosted lots of stallholders selling their books, zines and artwork, and this is just some of the queer paraphernalia we got from there that is now part of the collection! #pridemonth

What links Shakespeare with Clayton Hall? Sir John Byron—Little Sir John with the Great Beard— once owned and lived there and was a favourite at Elizabeth I’s court. He’s thought to have inspired Lord Berowne (or Biron) in Love’s Labour’s Lost. šŸ”Visit claytonhall.org

Thanks for your continued help and support, Tom, and to everyone at Manchester City Council. I don't think Clayton Hall has been this secure since Sir Thomas Fairfax and his Parliamentarian troops bivouacked at the Hall on their way to Nantwich during the Civil War!
