We went on a tour of Castle Howard.
It's really more of a grand house than a Castle and it is filled with beautiful things!
It's known for the filming of "Brightshead Revisited"
Click on picture to see the detail of this beautiful needlework on the pillow.
The pillow was tucked into a Cradle, next to an adult bed.
The embroidery on the bed skirt looked like pure Madeira.
Beautifully done.
There is beautiful art work through out the home. I particularly liked the painted ceilings.
In the Chapel, there is a needle worked screen - William Morris.
My favorite part of the tour?
Seeing the rainbow as we were leaving the beautiful home.

I have enjoyed following along on your trip. I actually have two baby bonnets that I bought on ebay that according to the seller came from a deacquisiton from Castle Howard Museum. I wonder if a baby slept in the cradle in your picture wearing one of my bonnets!
