This is the audio version of the blog post 'Castle Howard'. The post was written by John Ramsey, a volunteer on the Courtauld Digitisation project. It was first published on 8 August 2020. The audio version is also read by John.
In this blog, John explores Castle Howard, prompted by two photographs by Anthony Kersting held in the Conway Library at the Courtauld Institute of Art. The stately home inspired the setting for Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited, and the house was also used in the TV adaptation of the book. During a digitisation shift, John noticed something different about one of the photographs, which led him to explore the literary and architectural fortunes of the house.
