Ham House (National Trust)

I worked with National Trust site Ham House & Gardens in Richmond, to produce five illustrations for their family-friendly Easter trail. The illustrations included full and half body portraits of people from the English Civil War, which Ham House has ties with. The illustrations included notable figures including Elizabeth Murray, Oliver Cromwell, and King Charles II, as well as a Royalist Spy and Parliamentarian Spy. These cutouts could be found propped outside Ham House and in the gardens.

Visitors who wanted to get involved would have to spin a dial to see if they landed in "Team Save" the Royalists who wanted to protect the King, or "Team Seize" - the Parliamentarians who wanted to overthrow the monachy.  Instead of an Easter egg hunt, visitors had to hunt for royalist and parliamentarian spies hiding in the gardens. They also had to search for Charles II, who apparently hid in an oak tree to escape Parliamentarian forces!
