Northumberland hall unveils new collection of more than 40 paintings by Lady Waterford
The new Stickley Hamilton Collection at the Lady Waterford Hall in Ford was revealed at a special opening event last Thursday.
Stewart Hamilton explained how his partner, Peter Stickley, had first begun the collection in 1985 and laughingly detailed how he suggested they call a halt with their 40th acquisition.
Lady Joicey thanked Mr Stickley for his generous donation.
