There was so much detail which you just wouldn't see properly while watching it on TV, but had been done anyway. xxBlack Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-49724506639607201882018-05-02T15:05:13.217+01:002018-05-02T15:05:13.217+01:00This is actually the second time I've heard of...This is actually the second time I've heard of this happening. A few years ago a friend of mine was sent to draw a building which was about to be demolished (she is an archeological draughtsman) in order to make way for a new development in Chester, where I live. A decorative plaque on the outside was dated '1909', and it looked like an ordinary brick building. When she got into the attic she found that it was actually a medieval timber building with a later brick shell added! Needless to say, the development had to be changed to incorporate it.

The costumes were fabulous though and it must've been amazing to see them up close.<br />The exterior of Barley Hall looks like one of the settings for Doctor Who's Shakespeare episode. It's very similar with the stairs leading up. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106899252606137869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-74221042632321071722018-05-02T05:08:10.556+01:002018-05-02T05:08:10.556+01:00As an American, I can hardly fathom losing track o...As an American, I can hardly fathom losing track of a building lot this age.

We were in Ireland in 2010 and they had a display of costumes from The Tudors in Trinity Church in Dublin (a bunch of castle interior shots were done there for the show); it was a fascinating display. I really liked that show. I did have a hard time getting into Wolf Hall (both the book and the series, despite my large admiration for Damian Lewis as an actor). I should give it another go for the costumes if nothing else. Thanks for the push!Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134771358325901297noreply@blogger.com
