A Victorian mourning cape which has been in the same family for more than 125 years has been on display at Christchurch Mansion
A Victorian mourning cape which has been in the same family for more than 125 years has been on display at Christchurch Mansion. The cape has been given to Ipswich Museum by local man Reg Storer. Ipswich Borough Council’s senior conservator, Bob Entwistle, said it would have to be rotated between being on display and being kept in store so it did not fade.
