Talk by Karen Davidson

Castle Archivist, on The Photography of Ellen Willmott.

Although famous as a horticulturalist, Charles Berkeley's great, great-aunt Ellen Willmott was also an enthusiastic photographer

and Karen gave us an intriguing insight into Miss Willmott's fascinating life.

The audience were particularly interested in the photographs showing

before

and

after

shots 

of the many changes to the Castle made by the eighth Earl.

Full report in the Autumn edition of the Berkeley Buttress.
