Lawrence Birthplace Museum&nbsp;in Eastwood &#8211; photo by Juliamaud<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the house where he was born in 1885, the exhibition has been laid out in the style of a late 19th-century working class miner\u2019s house.&nbsp;The museum&nbsp;extends to the house next door which&nbsp;houses a short film, a small exhibition of his memorabilia&nbsp;and the gift shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition includes Lawrence\u2019s original gravestone. Yes, weird, I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he died on 2 March 1930&nbsp;in&nbsp;France&nbsp;from complications of tuberculosis, his wife, Frieda commissioned an elaborate headstone for his grave. It bears&nbsp;a mosaic of his adopted emblem of the&nbsp;phoenix and was originally atop his grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,&nbsp;in 1935&nbsp;Angelo Ravagli, who&nbsp;Frieda lived with and later married,&nbsp;arranged to have Lawrence&#8217;s body exhumed. The headstone was removed and passed through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/nottingham\/content\/articles\/2009\/03\/23\/dh_lawrence_gravestone_feature.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">various owners<\/a> until it was presented to the D.H.&nbsp; Lawrence Heritage in&nbsp;2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawrence&#8217;s body, however, was to be&nbsp;cremated so his ashes could be brought&nbsp;to the ranch in&nbsp;Taos, New Mexico where Frieda and Angelo lived. However, according to the museum the ashes never arrived at the ranch. Rumour has it that Angelo dumped the ashes en route and had to buy&nbsp;alternative ashes to take to&nbsp;Taos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the moral here is don&#8217;t trust your lover with your dead husband&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Guided Tour Of Newstead Abbey By Lord Byron<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our coach rumbled along the long driveway, past the remains of a 12th century Augustinian priory, coming to a halt in front of a large impressive house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stepping off our transportation, we were greeted and led inside to a stone staircase.&nbsp;In days gone by we would have climbed the stairs outside the building, but they have long since gone and that entrance is now a window. Then, our host would have been alerted to our presence by his pet&nbsp;dogs and bear. Today our arrival was announced to our host by a tour guide instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No sooner had we all assembled in the rectory hall than our host arrived. Lord Byron himself emerged from his dining room to give us a guided tour of his home and to regale us with stories of his life (and loves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cityadventurers.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/08\/dsc00375-1400x2100-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3779\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than knowing Lord Byron as one of our prominent poets and father of Ada Lovelace, with a reputation for being \u201cMad, Bad and Dangerous to Know\u201d I knew little about the man. But on this tour I found out so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told us about his love of animals, especially dogs. He wrote \u201cEpitaph to a Dog\u201d in 1808 in honour of his Newfoundland dog, Boatswain, who had just died of rabies. The dog has a grand memorial in the garden that some of us were able to see later. The collar from Byron\u2019s dog was auctioned in 2017 and showed battle scars from fighting with the poet\u2019s bear. Why did he have a bear? Because the university he attended did not allow pet dogs\u2026\u2026.but it said nothing in the rules about bears!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We visited his bedroom and dressing room and heard tales of visitations\u2026\u2026..romantic and spectral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The house is filled with books, art and memorabilia of Lord Byron\u2019s ancestors, friends and family. We saw the famous painting of Lord Byron, hanging prominently over the fireplace in the music room. In other rooms we saw paintings and busts of his mother and his lovers as he told us their tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard about how Newstead Abbey had been a monastic house from the late 12th century that was dissolved by Henry VIII. How it had been bought by Byron\u2019s ancestor and remained in&nbsp;the family for nearly 400 years. How the generations had built on the site. and how they had let the building fall into disrepair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also learnt about the subsequent owners and how they had restored it, keeping Lord Byron\u2019s legacy in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And at the end of the tour, we enjoyed a sumptuous meal in the Victorian kitchen built in 1817 designed by architect John Straw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edinburgh is the world\u2019s first UNESCO City of Literature.
