Eltham Palace, Eltham, London

The one day conference was organised with the kind collaboration of English Heritage.

The recently-restored interiors of Eltham Palace provided the venue for the Forum’s Fourth Annual Conference. The subject this year was a consideration of the ‘traditional paints’ and tastes of the early twentieth century.
