An exhibition exploring the lives of the black Georgian community in Rotherham has launched at Wentworth Woodhouse.
The display, called Fractured, brings to light some of the earliest recorded African-descended people who passed through the stately home over the centuries.
The project, which will be on display for two weeks, was created by Dig Where You Stand, an archival justice movement made up of artists, archivists, educators and community members.
Creative director Désirée Reynolds said their research focused on stories before 1945 to show that people of colour were “deeply embedded” in the history of South Yorkshire.
