This exhibition would not have been possible without a lot of care from our community.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Gillian Rennie, Curator of Durham Castle and David Wright, Assistant Curator of Exhibitions for their invaluable support, advice and guidance since the very beginning of this exhibition. We could not have put this exhibition on without you.

We are also deeply grateful to the following people for their unique contributions:

  • BRIMS Construction, especially Projects Manager Paul Powton, for expert insight behind the conservation of the Norman Chapel and wider work across the Castle.
  • Ross Wilkinson and Charlotte Spink, Learning and Engagement Coordinators, for their incredible guidance.
  • Gemma Lewis, Curator of Archaeology and Biosciences, and the teams at the Museum of Archaeology, Durham Archaeological Services, and Palace Green Library for providing us with their collections for display.
  • Durham County Record Office and Sierra Medellin for exhibition photographs.
  • Rachel Barclay, Karen Frost, and the university social media managers for aiding this exhibition’s marketing efforts.
  • Raffaella Aliprandi and the Visitor Services Staff at Durham Castle, especially Ariel Hollamby, for their support and help throughout this process.
  • Our MA Museum and Artefact Studies course director, Mary Brooks, and our module lecturers for their crucial support throughout the past year.

This exhibition was curated by students from Durham University’s MA Museum and Artefact Studies: Yuqing Tang, Shangquan Yue, Hannah Teague, Carsyn Harvey, Caroline Darnbrook, Ruoying Wu, Gulfishan Rahman, Priscilla Bright, and Yanjun Li
