An Elizabethan Household
Master Washington
Sulgrave Manor (2004)
The Lord of The Manor, wearing a figured blue silk suit. Suitably over-the-top for a young man of ambition.
The suit and equipment you see here has taken over two years to produce and a conservative estimate of the attire in modern terms is £12,000 - in the period this suit would have cost several tens of pounds and made a serious dent in the income of the family.Photographer: Susanne Atkin
