Scollands Hall, Richmond Castle


Another piece done for English Heritage showing the hall in Richmond castle close up and in the 14th century, rather than the earlier 11th century piece shown previously (here https://bit.ly/2nXP2RD). This time we get up close and personal with the people of the 14th century, as they eat and chat in the hall, wait outside before being allowed in or tally the goods downstairs in the store house. All the costume shown is drawn from 14th century material and shows different clothing worn by different classes and genders. Architectural features include the amazing entrances, shutters with panes of glass, chimney & louvre, emblems on the windows themselves, genuine medieval wall paintings in the hall itself and even different stonework around the doorway showing the history of the different phases of building the structure. Being able to do 2 illustrations showing different periods and aspects of one site was great, one that you dont always get to do.
