Myrtle Watson shows the News Letter’s Nikki Hill the marble statues at the Natrional Trust’s Mount Stewart in May 1982. Mrytle was the wife of the custodian of the house Sydney Watson. She told the News Letter: “The dusting is done very carefully and well. We do have other ways of dusting of course. The marble statues are dusted with a rather special soft bristle brush which gets into the crevices and layers of the sculpture.” Meanwhile, polishing was done once a year only with a special National Trust beeswax polish.
