Maggie Burrows, Daughter of Malcolm Burrows who originally did the research.

I am the daughter of the late Malcolm Burrows who spent a lot of time researching our family history. He was a particular expert on Shipley Hall and as a teenager I was involved with the excavations of the hall in the 1970s.

This picture is the pastel portrait of Muriel Harriett FitzHerbert-Wright from 1896 before she
resided in WH Hall 1903-13. It was given to John Burrows as a gift by the FHW family when
they left the hall. It was given to my Dad by John’s daughter Kate and hung in our family
home for several years. My Dad gave it to his sister Eileen, who lived near Cambridge. Eileen
died in 2015 and my cousins evidently sent the portrait to auction. Miraculously it was bought
by Andrew Sanders from West Hallam who saw it in an antique shop in Yorkshire in 2016.
