V & A Museum and Dudley House

"Bashaw" in the V & A museum

"Dudley House" - number 100 Park Lane, Mayfair - the exterior is almost complete and much of the scaffolding which has blocked the view for at least the last  two years has been taken down.

High up on the balustrade of the roof-line is the cartouche of the Ward family coat-of-arms and motto

A visit to the capital today to see Matthew Cotes Wyatt's magnificent sculpture of the old Earl of Dudley's favourite dog "Bashaw" in the V & A museum. After lunch a diversion to Park Lane to observe the progress on the refurbishment of number 100 - Dudley House, the exterior of which is almost complete.
