Scrolling through Ebay one evening I noticed this absolutely beautiful glass Ambrotype photo, unframed, of a couple, taken I thought probably 1855/60’s

Marie Louise Wancke married Karl Isak Pyhlsson

I never imagined it would take me on a journey to the Netherlands, Sweden, Milan, Italy, Sunderland, Durham. Also connections to Christopher Columbus and even the Queen of Holland

Dozens of Old Photos, but who do they belong to? Any ideas?

By Lynn's Waffles on 15/05/2018 • ( 6 Comments )

Having spent about four days worth of research on these Old Photos it’s time to give in. Have I missed something, so if you have any ideas or inspiration I would love to hear from you!

Margaretta Parry❤️Thomas Alfred lloyd

The bride was attired in an ivory charmeuse (Silk) dress, trimmed with French lace and pearls, and carried a sheaf of lilies.

Visit to Lytes Cary Manor last week & what a wonderful little Chapel they have!😍 National Trust Website: The Lyte’s family The story starts with William le Lyte, who was a feudal tenant of the estate as early as 1286. He paid an annual rent of 10 shillings or the contents of a swan’s nest on the River Cary.  It is believed that it was his grandson, Peter, who built the Chapel in 1343. Six generations of the Lyte family lived at the Manor and the house was gradually expanded over time.  The Great Hall was constructed in 1447 by Thomas Lyte and the south wing, kitchens and outhouses were added by 1533 by John Lyte and his wife, Edith. The chapel predates the existing house, having been built around 1343, and functioned as a chantry Chapel, where masses could be said for the souls of the family, both living and dead. ***************************** Historic England Website: William le Lyte held the estate now known as Lytes Cary in 1286, and his descendants remained in possession until 1755. In the mid C14, William's grandson, Peter, built a new stone chapel, and gradually successive generations constructed a courtyard manor house around it. #LytesCary #LytesCaryManor #Chapel #Somerset #NationalTrust
