Newstead Abbey

Newstead Abbey was once home to the infamous Romantic poet Lord Byron. To celebrate the Bicentenary of Lord Byon in 2024, they are hosting a range of fantastic events throughout the year allowing you to get closer than ever before to the man behind the celebrity.
Object of the Month | Throughout 2024
Each month, a different item from the Newstead collection will be explored as we take a deep dive into what these items can tell us about Byron’s life and legacy. Each month, we’ll explore a different aspect of his life and personality through displays and videos on site and online. These objects have been researched and presented by Dr Sam Hirst, Academic Fellow, University of Nottingham.
