Sonja has been the Trust’s Collections Manager for many years and has acquired a unique and intimate knowledge of the items kept in the Trust’s South Somerset properties. She is currently Senior House and Collections Manager, based at Montacute House, which was used for the filming of Wolf Hall.

Her talk will cover the collections at Montacute, Lytes Cary, Barrington Court, Tintinhull, the Priest’s House and the Treasurer’s House, describing how they have been brought together, their significance, what are collected, recent acquisitions and offers.  Sonja will also give us a quick resumé of the National Trust’s policies on what they choose to collect.   She will also describe the houses and unusual features.
