The Hawstead Panels, created around 1600 were later reassembled in Christchurch Mansion. The small “painted closet” was originally at Hawstead Place, near Bury St Edmunds, the home of Sir Robert and Lady Elizabeth Drury. This unique and intriguing piece was most probably painted by Lady Anne Bacon Drury (1572-1624); her daughter was Lady Elizabeth (d.1610). Lady Anne Bacon Drury was an unrecognised amateur artist – she was certainly involved in its design.
