The 22,000 items in the collection at Snowshill Manor in the Cotswolds are being moved back into the building from storage this month, in preparation for the house's re opening at Easter next year. The eclectic collection, gathered by the eccentric man of letters and architect Charles Paget Wade, includes twenty-six sets of Japanese Samurai armour (being packed up), Jacobean glass, seventeenth-century legal and religious books and children's toys. The building had been emptied for rewiring and the installation of environmental monitoring equipment. However, the collection itself requires considerable conservation and a campaign to raise money will be launched soon.
