The Silver Safe at Athelhampton has just reopened after a week of restoration. It is the smallest of the 20 rooms open to the public.
Athelhampton House was purchased in 1660 by Sir Robert Long, (treasurer to Queen Henrietta Maria) he was a wealthy landowner and had many estates in Dorset, London, Wiltshire and Yorkshire.
In the 1750's his decendants spent time at all their estates and when they weren't at Athelhampton their housekeeper would lock away the family silver behind a huge iron door.
Why not come and explore? Athelhampton House and Gardens is open 7 days a week througout the year, and is a great day out in Dorset.
The restoration process described here is fascinating, especially seeing how historical craftsmanship can be preserved with such care and precision. Restoring valuable pieces really highlights the importance of protecting items that hold sentimental or symbolic meaning. I often think about this when choosing jewelry that represents personal milestones or family connections. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy exploring birthstone rings, since they combine meaningful symbolism with modern durability and everyday comfort. Wearing something tied to personal history feels similar to preserving heirlooms, allowing special memories and identity to stay present while still fitting naturally into daily life.

A lot of people like the endless-runner style game Snow Rider 3D, which is set in a snowy world and mixes speed, skill, and excitement. The player steers a character on a sled down a rough, icy hill that is full of obstacles in this game. The main goal is to get as far as you can without hitting, collecting gifts along the way and staying away from obstacles like rocks, trees, and snowmen.
I’d love to hear more about what was involved in crazy cattle 3d unblocked the restoration — were any original features recovered, or did the team have to recreate parts of the safe? It’s always fascinating to learn a bit about the conservation process behind these restorations.
