This talk explores the work of George Shaw (1810–76), an architect-antiquary from Uppermill who came across Henry VII’s and Elizabeth of York’s marriage bed in 1830s Staffordshire.Using it as the fountainhead for a raft of daring forgeries sold to Northern aristocrats a decade later, Dr Lindfield relates Shaw’s strait-laced historicising 1847 work at Chetham’s with this Tudor bed and his broader Tudor-revival fakery.
Visitors will be given the opportunity to view the Tudor bed exhibition at the end of the talk, and to ask Peter any questions they may have.
