Photograph of the porch entrance at Castle Bromwich Hall, in Birmingham, with five people in the porch. The children are likely to be the four daughters and third son of the 4th Earl of Bradford: Beatrice, Margaret, Helena, Florence and Henry. Above the 'barley-twist' columns are two figures in niches, called Peace and Plenty.
Castle Bromwich is a Jacobean mansion built in 1599 and the family home of the Bridgeman (Earl of Bradford) family until 1936. The Duke and Duchess of York visited Castle Bromwich in September 1894. The Countess of Bradford was later Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Mary in 1901.Provenance
