This bold and virbant llustration by Stockport born and based artist Lucy burgess, celebrates one of Stockports most important historical buildings; Bramhall Hall.
Bramall Hall is a superb example of a Tudor Manor House with origins dating back to the Middle Ages. It is a Grade I Listed Building and a notable example of the timber-framed buildings found throughout the historic county of Cheshire.
The Hall, one of the most beautiful treasures of England, is of great national importance. The magnificent 16th Century wall paintings, striking Elizabethan plaster ceiling, the Victorian Kitchens and Servants’ Quarters give this Hall its unique charm.
The Hall offers unique insights into the families and servants who lived and worked here. It stands in about 70 acres of parkland designed in the Victorian Romantic style. It offers woodland walks with intriguing glimpses of the Hall itself and of the brooks and lakes.
Lucy Burgess’ work reflects on her own personal memories of her hometown, she explains ‘I truly believe art should make you think, feel and reminisce - it doesn't have to match the couch as the old saying goes. Much of my work plays on the memories I share with many communities across Stockport; which marked the start of an exciting future for me and my art.’
Burgess has exhibited in Stockport Art Gallery, The Arc Centre, and she had her first solo exhibition in The Room at The Top in 2015. Her work is available in the town's popular tourist attractions: Staircase House, the Hat Works and the Air raid shelters as well as some great independent shops including The Warren.
