Daniel & Clara: The Lost Estate. Artist talk at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, 18 May 2024
A recording of an illustrated talk by the artists Daniel & Clara about their exhibition The Lost Estate, at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery until early 2025.
The Lost Estate is a new photographic series on display at Norwich Castle, which explores the relationship between humans and the natural world through imagined narratives taking place in the gardens of a country estate.
“The pictures for The Lost Estate were taken at sunrise and sunset throughout August 2023, we had hoped for a beautiful golden summer light but it rained for most of the month. This infused the pictures with a melancholy mood, more eerie than we had planned but possibly more appropriate for the ideas we were exploring. In our work we are always responding to the landscape and weather, these are collaborators in our process, they inform how we perform, our posture and our mood - we work like human barometers, letting the atmospheric conditions speak through us.”

Make a video about leather armor
All they’ve ever done is messed around with it. Just leave the place alone so people can see it how it was. The original castle.

What a very interesting film and it is so helpful to understand how it was to be - and has been - conserved. Look forward to seeing it in the museum. Thank you for bringing this to us.
“Or as the Normans would say: *voilà!* “ That’s some really clever writing.
process is nicely explained; tapestry is beautiful in every aspect thank you
What a wonderful document. There is so much to be learnt from it about the culture and beliefs of the time - will it be digitised and/or transcribed to make it available to the widest possible audience?
Thank you for sharing this knowledgement!
Padding cloth armour was not just worn under other more expensive armour types, but also over it to catch arrows (and there shrapnel)
Look forward to The Castle re-opening..2024..what Month!
A grand project, a long time in coming, but well worth the effort and cost. 😊
Interesting but maybe you could do a video on the wheelchair access as that will be of interest to disabled people and parents with small children
Really interesting. Thank you for the insight👍🏻
Dunno if its possible to get you to answer but. For the sugarloaf, was it possible to just have a arming cap, mail coif and then the sugarloaf or was it too big and needed a skullcap underneath aswell
This is great news!truly amazing.
Shame they won't all be displayed at the same time.
Another name the gambeson went by is a "jack" as if any more names were needed.
Wow, really nice.
I want to say, that even in its faded state, this particular tapestry is gorgeous. There is enough colour and detail that survives to give a strong hint of its original appearance when woven in the early sixteenth century. Although the magnificent Devonshire Hunt Tapestries of the V&A are earlier in date, there is a similarity of vividness and design that makes this tapestry a delight to gaze on. No wonder, tapestries were the highest aspirational luxury - even up to the eighteenth century.
That looks amazing
An illuminating exposition, along with the associated blog. It prompts expectations for the opening of the re-fashioned Castle Museum in Norwich.
Wait. They wanted warmth AND heat? That’s crazy! I’m sorry. Don’t mean to make fun. I really enjoyed the video.
Such a good insight - I saw the exhibition but this gives a lasting perspective. Thanks Ruth

Fantastic engagement with the community! How fun! I wish I was there to partake of the enthusiasm.
That Norman joke was the last straw. Consider me subscribed 👍
Wonderful ! I can't wait !
I think the reason the early crusader helmets had a flat top was that they were primarily used by cavalry, and so their wearers had less of a chance to get hit from above, and mainly had to worry about lances and arrows.
I heard that a flat top hairstyle was popular at the time so they had a flat top instead
I found a photo in a book: the variety of plants-richard mabey. Very good depiction by the painter of the oak of Poringland.
What a fun idea! What a great way to get people involved in the museum and history.
Thank you Wendy!
I'd add that crossbows had some advantages over bows aside from the lesser training required to use them. You can't hold a warbow drawn back for very long, but a crossbow can be kept spanned and ready to fire at a moments notice, and they're also more accurate. Combined, those advantages make them very well suited to circumstances where carefully timed and aimed shots are more important than speed, such as sieges and even naval battles. Given how common sieges were compared to other types of battle in the medieval period, it's not surprising that continental armies tended to favor crossbows.
