During the Pilgrimage of Grace many of the local gentry fled to #Hull. Sir John Constable of Burton Constable said that he'd rather die than live with the shame of joining the rebels. Here's his son, who as a baby was perhaps with his father in Hull. @hull_libraries
A stunning display of the Northern Lights over Burton Constable Hall tonight.
Did you get to see them? ✨

"A ticking time bomb." Calls for sky lanterns to be banned have grown after two were found burnt out at an East Yorkshire country house. Read more: bbc.in/4wVWBp2
⚠️ Sky lanterns recently recovered from Burton Constable parkland were still alight. Please think twice before releasing them. In this hot, dry weather they pose a serious risk to the countryside, wildlife and livestock.
We were pleased to welcome Humberside Fire and Rescue back to Burton Constable last night for a joint training exercise.
Alongside the crews’ training, our team and Curator practised salvage procedures to help protect the Hall’s collections in the event of a fire 🚒

Bringing your dog to Burton Constable? 🐾
Please keep them on a lead at all times to protect our livestock and ensure everyone has a great visit.
Dogs worrying livestock is a serious offence under UK law and owners can face penalties.
Thank you for your support!
A great evening of joint training with Humberside Fire & Rescue. We rehearsed with the crew to protect the building and its contents, while fire crews practised breathing apparatus drills. A valuable chance to test our emergency plans!
