About This Event

The Exhibition: The Art of Collecting – 100 Years of the Fairhaven Legacy will run on selected dates at Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill in Cambridge.

In 1926 Urban Huttleston Rogers Broughton, the 1st Lord Fairhaven, along with his brother Henry, bought Anglesey Abbey house and gardens. Over the next 40 years, Lord Fairhaven shaped the house into a unique home – designing new rooms and spaces which he filled with an eclectic collection of historic objects and artwork. Upon his death in 1966, the house, gardens and collection were handed over to the National Trust to be enjoyed by the public.

This summer’s exhibition looks at Lord Fairhaven’s love of collecting, the treasures accumulated during his four decades at Anglesey Abbey, and his vision for the legacy he left behind: 'My thought and hope is that in a changing world the house, its furniture and the gardens and their lay-out should be preserved and kept representative of an age and a way of life that is quickly passing'

This exhibition is free for National Trust members and included in an admission ticket for visitors. We look forward to welcoming you.
