Default Hever Castle
Hi I visited Hever Castle yesterday. Was expecting to see a dolls house but none there.
There are a few Tudor houses (real) in the grounds which are lovely to see but not enter and we had a good day.
But just in case anyone was going to make a special visit expecting a dolls house.

Hi Carol

That looks lovely! Shame about the dolls house. I thought they had one there too. Didn't John Hodgson display there?

Hi A /DM Nope we asked one of the "assistants" in the Castle and she had been there quite a few years but she could not remember any. There are sorta a couple of buildings with a few rooms showing but not one particular house/ just about 3/4 rooms in seperate cases.
I expected a full house with front opening.

Hi Carol

Maybe that's all there ever was then. I love the pics, especially the hall. Thanks for that.

I think that is the John Hodgson dollshouse - I recognize it from a picture in a dollshouse reference book - 'Making Miniature Interiors' or something...
Glad you had a good day.
