Mourning wreaths adorn the Castle's front door, the paintings and mirrors are shrouded with black draping and the clocks have been stopped at the precise moment the sad event occurred. The household is ready to receive visitors wishing to offer their condolences. The Castle is hosting a historically accurate re-creation of a Victorian funeral and wake. In addition to a presentation on the traditions, rituals, seances and superstitions surrounding death and mourning during the Victorian era, period artifacts will be on display.
