Recent fire at Clandon House

We have watched in horror the news coverage of the devastating fire that engulfed Clandon Park House in Surrey over the past couple of days. In addition to the terrible damage done to such a beautiful building, the House was also home to the Surrey Infantry Museum, and held the regimental collections of the Queen’s Royal Regiment (West Surrey) and the East Surrey Regiment. We understand that the majority of the collections have been lost in the fire.

Fire is a curator’s worst nightmare, and we can only imagine how staff, visitors, and all those involved with the museum must be feeling at this time.
