This #graffiti @SuttonHouseNT was left by George Barnett in 1904, when he fixed the panelling. During the early 20th century the house was used by a local church club to 'promote the Spiritual, Mental, Social & Physical welfare of young men': https://t.co/OW2sZUOQ0k#Wellbeing pic.twitter.com/POk9VEPv3o

An inscription with a story to tell for #FindsFriday!
During conservation works at Nether Alderley Mill, this pencil #graffito written in 1960 by Robert Taylor was found.
