Re: [h-cost] What to see in the UK
Sorry - missed first message... There's a bit in the National Museums of Scotland, in Edinburgh, but you'd have to check whether it's on display or not. Likewise The Armouries in Leeds, though it's of the coat of plate variety (I know there are a couple of coats and a hat on display there). I agree that Hardwicke is a must. One of the problems with tudor clothing outside London is that it's likely that many historic houses have little bits - the odd doublet, etc - but it will be very spread out. It's also quite hard to keep track of, as they will keep selling it! The snowshill collection (if you can find it) is definitely worthwhile though.

I'd highly recommend the National Portrait Gallery. And the V&A, of course!

Re: [h-cost] What to see in the UK
Just returned form Ireland. Museum of Ireland - Archaeology (Kildare St, Dublin) has the Shinrone gown and men's clothing from bogs on display in a room off the 1st floor. late 16th/ early 17th C. also some things in the medieval section on the 2nd floor. Museum of Ireland- Decorative Arts (Collins Barracks, Dublin) has a display of 20th C clothing and some 19th C things in the general collection. The office of the textile conservator for the system is also located here. Museum of Country Life has some early 20th C things on display including Traditional/Folk clothing from the Aran Islands and a nice display of sweaters. Bunratty Castle has some early 16th portraits. Please be aware that photography is generally forbidden in Irish Museums.

Re: [h-cost] What to see in the UK
Not much in the way of costume but with significate connections to the 16th century: Hardwick Hall, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Sulgrave Manor in Northamptonshire Stranger's hall in Norwich I'd also check the National Trust properties, I know there are more. alex On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 11:09 PM, Elizabeth Walpole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > I'm in the early planning stages of a Holliday to the UK about this time > next year and I'm trying to work out what I should visit, I'm spending a > week in London with friends and after that point I'm planning to spend > another 2 or 3 weeks around the UK & Ireland. the London part of my trip is > fairly firmly planned but for the rest of the UK & Ireland I've only got > Bath, Stratford on Avon, Warwick Castle, and Hampton Court definitely on my > list so far, so what else would you suggest for a costumer and Tudor history > nut? > Elizabeth > --- > Elizabeth Walpole > Canberra, Australia > http://magpiecostumer.110mb.com/ > > ___ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > -- "I'm buying this fabric/book now in case I have an emergency...you know, having to suddenly make presents for everyone, sickness,flood, injury, mosquito infestations, not enough silk in the house, it's Friday..." ;) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
