Rockingham Castle

In 1960 my father moved back to England and I spent the summer with him that year based out of his parent's home in Kettering, Northants. One day we visited Rockingham Castle and my father told me that he was doing some work at the castle for the then Sr. Michael Culme-Seymour, the lord of the estate. I never knew what work he was doing but my father was a dealer in fine prints and rare books. Rockingham Castle was ofter frequented by Charles Dickens.

Today we visited Rockingham Caster and did the full inside and outside tour. The head tour guide was very interested in my story and he said he would pass it on to the chief archivest to see if he could find out more.
