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 think it's now at Berrington Hall, a National Trust property in Herefordshire (near the Welsh border), but it can only be visited by prior arrangement. I visit the area every year, have been round the Hall but not managed to see the costume collection. Haddon Hall in Derbyshire is worth seeing as well as Hardwick Kate Bunting Librarian & 17th century reenactor ************** _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
