Burton Constable Hall has long been intertwined with the story of the East Riding Yeomanry, thanks to the distinguished military service of the Chichester-Constable family. To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we are proud to present a special exhibition showcasing the Neil Hutty Collection, the largest private collection dedicated to the East Riding Yeomanry.
Neil Hutty’s passion for the regiment began with his grandfather, who served as a trooper during the Second World War. After his grandfather’s passing, Neil realised how little was known about his service. With few published histories available, he began his own research in 2000. In 2004, he acquired his first piece of regimental memorabilia. Over the next two decades, his collection grew into a remarkable tribute to the men of the East Riding Yeomanry.
This compelling exhibition features a wide range of artefacts, including, uniforms and medals, service records and documents and personal items belonging to members of the regiment.
Together, these pieces tell the story of a proud regiment and the individuals who served within it.
Exhibition entry is included with Hall admission.
