Description |
An early travelling trunk, possibly owned by George
Parnall (GP), who was Mayor of Hereford in 1660. Leather-covered
and brass-studded, with a curved lid which fits over
flanges. Inside, there is a lift-out wooden tray resting
on yellow pine bearers. Both the tray and the canvas
lining were added at a later date. A similar trunk with
the royal cypher and crown, given by Queen Henrietta
Maria to Lord St Albans, was at Rushbrooke Hall, Bury
St Edmunds, Suffolk |
