I fell in love with this room when I saw this sunlit painting.  The Victorian artist has captured a perfect cosy, bright spot for reading, in a magnificent yet intimate Elizabethan or Jacobean interior.  I wonder what titles are in that pile of books on the table. 

Tamworth Castle itself is more of a Norman keep and doesn’t look from the outside as if it would have such a comfortable and inviting room. 

Enjoy your reading wherever you are.
