FROGSMILE Posted 26 July , 2021 Share Posted 26 July , 2021 (edited) It looks like they are dancing in a Tudor banqueting hall (perhaps used as dormitory accommodation) and in the corner the ghost of a Tudor lady (Good Queen Bess?) is being drawn into dancing too in sympathy. NB. I guess that Hatfield House must be from that era. Edited 26 July , 2021 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanN Posted 26 July , 2021 Share Posted 26 July , 2021 What a wonderful drawing David, have you had it long ? I used to live in Hatfield and visited Hatfield house many times, Ursula Wood has brought a quirky contemporary feel to an old world maginificent space.

DavidIsby Posted 26 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 26 July , 2021 All I have is the jpg. Of course, Elizabeth spent much time at Hatfield (before the Great Hall assumed its current form) and she loved to dance (especially the volta). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
