A 16th century portrait of an important Tudor lady-in-waiting is back on display at Salford’s Tudor house and museum following restoration.
The much-loved portrait ‘Lady in a Court Dress’ has been re-hung in the Great Chamber of Ordsall Hall after four years away. Since then, funds have been raised for conservation work that has made some fascinating revelations.
Previously very little was known about the portrait, which had been on show in Salford for over 40 years and become a favourite feature for visitors. But, as it was being restored, more secrets behind the well-loved picture were discoverd.
