Britain's What's On Event Guide
Sketching in Stone: an exhibition by Berwick Bridge 400 Artist in Residence, Annie Lord
Heritage Open Day: Berwick Old Bridge celebrates its 400th anniversary and Annie Lord, Connecting Threads Artist in Residence has been working with the local community to create an artistic response to this event. Come along and see the results at this exhibition. As part of her research, Annie has spent time exploring the original account books which recorded the names, wages and job titles of everyone involved in the construction of Berwick Bridge. Dating back to 1611, these beautifully scribed books tell a fascinating story, revealing both the material history of the bridge, and the labour involved in its creation.
Throughout her residency, Annie has developed handmade paint, made from the same
sandstone used to repair the bridge.
