Dr Ruth Frendo goes to West Dean College to meet Ana Perez our conservation student at West Dean College

6 FEBRUARY 2023

Archivist Dr Ruth Frendo was  delighted to accept an invitation to a Scholars’ Lunch at West Dean College, an annual event where the College invites bursary-givers to visit and see the work they’re funding. Over the years, the Stationers’ Foundation has bestowed Major Awards and Francis Mathew Scholarships to several conservation students at West Dean. West Dean College is a Gothic Revival mansion nestling in a vast estate on the South Downs,  West Dean House provides an idyllic retreat where students can devote themselves to mastering their craft. And the students Ruth met were certainly embracing the opportunity to do just that.  To read Ruth's full report and view some of Ana's work click here .
