A sweet mid-twentieth century sampler featuring Hampton Court. Done by Mary Cotton in 1950, and measuring 38cm x 44cm. It was sold unframed. I wonder why she chose Hampton Court? Perhaps this design was sold there? It looks as though it was a printed design; it includes both cross stitch and embroidery, but the cross-stitch doesn't appear to be counted cross stitch. And it's always so nice to have a maker's name on the work.
If you know any more about this design, please do leave a comment.
