Doddington Hall, a beautiful Elizabethan house in the picturesque village of Doddington near Lincoln is itself a lovely place to visit. Gorgeous, rambling gardens...room upon room of charm and character inside it's turreted house...a really great Cafe...not to mention the farm shop: baskets of homegrown veggies, shiny counters serving delicious cheeses, meats and breads...stacks of jars filled with every chutney, relish and conserve...ooh my, I could go on quite happily, but must make mention of it's latest (and rather wonderful) event worth a visit.
"Old, New, Mostly Borrowed & One Blue" exhibits a collection of unusual and historic wedding dresses. Amongst some of the 60 frocks on display and objects of marital signficance are items worn by royalty, high society and locals. This is a feast of textile and fashion regalia amongst an amusing and quirky take (I do believe there is a dress on show for a canine bride...) on this timelessly fascinating garment of marraige.
