Graffiti

First floor gallery, Sutton House. Formerly a panelled room whose panels were damaged when the house stood empty in the 1980s. The bare walls expose the layers of history and construction once hidden by the panels. Above the doorway is this graffiti left by restorers when the house was repaired by the St John's Church Institute. It reads, "This panelling fixed by George Barnet in the month of September 1904."
