Summary
A study of the interior of the Chapel at Lyme; watercolour on paper. Depicts two wooden fluted pillars at the front with rows of wooden pews behind. The family pew with carved wooden screen and red cushions on top is on the right. A bay window on the left with stained glass and in front, the altar table with cross.
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.
