The Winner | The Collections Award 2024 | Historic Houses x Dreweatts

We are delighted to announce the winner of the 2024 Historic Houses' Collections Award, in partnership with Dreweatts.

The award was established in 2022 to honour the creators, owners, curators, researchers, and conservators dedicated to preserving, enhancing, restoring, and interpreting the remarkable and meaningful objects displayed in historic houses across the country. Their work allows the public to appreciate these artefacts and the stories they convey.

The winner of this year's award is Grimsthorpe Castle!

Grimsthorpe has been the seat of the Barons Willoughby de Eresby since 1516. The collection comprises items of nationally important furniture, paintings, china, sculpture, objects d'art, books and armour all ranging in date from the 16th century to the present day. The Willoughby family were awarded the hereditary office of Lord Great Chamberlain in 1626, an office they continue to share with other families today. Due to this role, several items in the collection have royal provenance and were received by the Willoughby family through the system of perquisites. One of the rarest items in the Grimsthorpe collection is a 17th-century silk doublet and trunkhose, which underwent extensive conservation for exhibition this year. The castle’s impressive heritage and conservation efforts demonstrate the evolving role of historic homes in engaging new and modern audiences.
