It’s a game changer for British Art in the East of England. In 2019, JMW Turner’s early masterpiece ‘Walton Bridges’ was saved for the nation following major grants from @heritagefundM_East and @ArtFund Happy Birthday National Lottery! #NationalLottery30

It’s a game changer for C20th British photography! Thanks to £100,000+ funding from @TNLUK we’ve been able to showcase the work of Olive Edis. We mounted a large-scale exhibition at @NorwichCastle in 2016 and have installed a permanent display at @CromerMuseum#NationalLottery30

It’s a game changer for heritage skills in East Anglia!

Between 2011 and 2015, @HeritageFundUK @LottoGoodCauses provided £1.1m to offer formal apprenticeships through a project titled Skills for the Future, a @GressenhallFW @FoodMuseumUK partnership.

This #BlackHistoryMonth let's reflect on 30 years of an amazing and inspiring Black British Writer, Malorie Blackman @timetidemuseum Back in 2010 Malorie said "it does lead to a sense of inclusion, it leads to a sense that History and this world, we all are a part of it”.

This is a stunning piece! We recognised the prominent roundel as a merchant’s mark belonging to John Westgate, a cloth calenderer of St. Gregorys Norwich. The mark also allows us to date the fabric to around 1520. #MedievalNorwich

[Norwich Castle @NorwichCastle]

🧵The 16th C Westgate Pall is destined for the Gallery of Medieval Life, a British Museum Partnership Gallery, with a grand opening in Norwich Castle Keep next year.
