Summary
A study of a castle with turrets; watercolour on paper. Depicts a castle with a turret on the left with a pointed roof and smaller turrets on top with weather vanes; has small vertical openings for the windows. Foliage grows around the base and an archway connects the castle with a building on the left; a stone paved path infront.
Provenance
Lady Langford (née Legh) the daughter of the first Lord Newton, lived with Mrs Packer in her later years after they became friends when Mrs Packer managed a hotel for her. When Lady Langford died, she bequeathed some of her possessions to Mrs Packer. Mrs Packer gave the items to Lyme at various times but the information was not recorded properly at the time. Confirmed dates of arrival at Lyme are 1992, 1995 and 1999, but for some of the items, it is unclear which date they arrived.
