I well remember the wonderful tour you ...Dear John,<br />I well remember the wonderful tour you gave us when David Jette led a group of vergers around the UK!<br />If any visitors are especially interested in needlepoint, Hardwick Hall, the manor house (more like a palace) of "Bess of Shrewsbury" is fabulous.<br />For Americans, a visit to Sulgrave Manor, north of Oxford, is especially interesting. It is the ancestral home of George Washington, and the tours are especially good - the docent has visitors sit down as she explains why the windows are different sizes, how the spit in the kitchen works, etc. And there is some lovely needlework to be seen as well.<br />Best wishes,<br />Bid DrakeBidwell C Drakehttp://www.bcddesigns.comnoreply@blogger.com
