On Day 2 we went to Raby Castle and looked at more recipe books and did more transcription. We also look at material from the Raby Castle Estate at the time the redcurrant was first grown there. We also enjoyed a tour of the gardens and getting to sample the famous redcurrant itself!

The two-day event started at Palace Green Library and involved learning about garden history, learning how to transcribe recipes and trying out some interpretations of eighteenth century recipes.
