I am looking for charts for historical houses, particularly a chart for Warwick Castle. Does anyone have any ideas?
I know one company in the UK who sells kits only, but not of Warwick.

Thanks, darlene

These look to both be kits. I saw another one but it was more trees and river with barely a hint of castle in the background.

Thanks so much MaggyM1750! I checked out both sites and the second one is gorgeous with lots of detail AND I can just get the chart for 13.50 pounds.

The first one is "cute" and would be okay if I hadn't seen the second one. Of course the second one is going to be quite a long term project!

Thanks so much again.

Theres got to be an "in between" project somewhere.. it just requires more digging.
The first one I thought was basic and pixely.. second one is HUGE but really detailed and looks sort of faded, like an old painting.

I just did a Yahoo search for Warwick + Cross Stitch.. but be warned.. there is a stitch company or designer with the name Warwick. Might get better results with Warwick Castle + Cross Stitch if you want to keep looking.
