Anne-Noëlle is Curator and Archivist at Hammerwood Park, Sussex, the Grade 1-listed, late 18th century Greek Revival historic house, which was rescued from dereliction in 1982 and is now open to the public in summer.
Recent projects have included researching the iconography of Hammerwood’s Coade stone panels (1792) depicting scenes of Bacchic revelry (possibly reflecting the 18th-century function of the estate as a festive hunting lodge) and developing the Hammerwood archive to encompass the house’s wider significance as the first independent work of B.H. Latrobe (1764-1820), later architect at the White House and Capitol, Washington D.C.
Anne-Noëlle is a Trustee and Ambassador of Arts Without Boundaries, the Kent-based charity supporting people with learning disabilities through multi-arts activities, and a Development Board member at the Orpheus Centre Trust, the specialist arts college in Surrey. She curated the first Orpheus multi-media visual art show in 2019 and continues to work to promote greater accessibility, diversity and inclusion across the arts.
An art/cultural historian with an interdisciplinary academic background (Courtauld Institute/University of Oxford), Anne-Noëlle was previously on the editorial staff of Apollo magazine and a freelance arts writer/editor (including Masterpiece and The Antique Collector) and contributing freelance editor at the Phaidon Press.
