The National Trust has received a £3m grant from the US Royal Oak Charity in order support conservation projects. This is set to include the conservation of a portrait of Sir John Maitland by Adrian Vanson, which seems to have been painted on top of a portrait of Mary Queen of Scots. This portrait from Ham House is currently undergoing treatment in the trust's conservation studios at Knole (pictured). Other works set to benefit from the money include a set of sixteenth century chairs at Petworth and a Samurai Armour from Snowshill Manor.
