Over Very Quickly! Not Allowed to take Photos
Rockingham Castle的点评
点评：We arrived a bit early, and walked down the dimly lit hill (5.00 pm booking) to the castle entrance. We went into a huge marquee, showed our QR code (they seemed to have no record of our time) and bought a tea in a paper cup and a cake wrapped up in a paper bag. Not very Victorian, but the brownie was delicious.
Mrs Payne, the Victorian housekeeper, arrived on time and took us over to the castle. We realised quite early on in the tour, that the whole “story” was going to be about her, with a few references to the family. The kitchen was interesting.
We entered an ante room, which was described as the servants quarters, and she explained a bit of the role of the servants at Christmas and some information about the family. In all we visited 4 rooms. The tour took about 40 minutes and the guide filled in time by constantly asking ourselves and the other people on the tours questions - easily 20 questions, about how we look after our staff(!), games we played at Christmas, what we cooked, etc. At least 20 questions to pad out the lack of things to see and fill in time! The Christmas trees were dressed in modern day decorations ( I have my doubts that even Harrods in 1849 stocked these). A chair, hidden behind a portrait of the Watson children, was apparently where Dickens sat.
There was one lit fire, not roaring, as the rest had been left to die out.
We were also surprised at how abruptly the tour ended and we were ushered into the shop !!
Finally, we were told, before the visit commenced , not to take photos - there really wasn’t anything very festive to photograph.

翻译：我们到得有点早，从灯光昏暗的山坡上走下来（下午 5 点预订）到城堡入口。我们走进一个巨大的帐篷，出示了二维码（他们似乎没有记录我们的时间），买了一杯纸杯茶和一个用纸袋包起来的蛋糕。不是很维多利亚风格，但布朗尼蛋糕很美味。
维多利亚风格的管家佩恩夫人准时到达，带我们去了城堡。我们在游览的早期就意识到，整个“故事”都是关于她的，其中有一些提到了这个家庭。厨房很有趣。
我们进入了一个前厅，那里被描述为仆人的住处，她解释了仆人在圣诞节的角色以及一些关于这个家庭的信息。我们总共参观了 4 个房间。游览大约持续了 40 分钟，导游通过不断向我们和其他游客提问来打发时间——轻轻松松就有 20 个问题，关于我们如何照顾员工（！）、我们在圣诞节玩的游戏、我们做了什么菜等等。至少有 20 个问题来填补看点不足和时间不足的问题！圣诞树上装饰着现代装饰品（我怀疑 1849 年的哈罗德百货是否也出售这些装饰品）。一把隐藏在沃森家孩子肖像后面的椅子显然是狄更斯坐过的地方。
有一把火点燃了，但没有熊熊燃烧，因为其他的火都已经熄灭了。
我们也惊讶于游览结束得如此突然，我们被领进了商店！！
最后，在参观开始之前，我们被告知不要拍照——那里真的没有什么很喜庆的东西可以拍。
