Only in the wealthiest families did one or more seamstresses live in the castle.  Those that did were usually the best and were treated very well.\nSeamstresses usually lived in the town and served more than one family.  See the references below:

he few roads that still existed were in a bad state, bridges were scarce, and brigands were common. For this reason during the Dark Ages, which lasted until about 1000 A.D., populations were tightly bound to the land surrounding the feudal lord's castle. People moved about only when there were festivals in other cities. These were the only occasions on which people could buy or look at different goods and have a chance to sell their own food or objects and fabrics made for sale. Fear controlled people’s lives and induced them to ask for protection from powerful warriors who had constructed well-defended castles, or from monasteries, which did not have soldiers but did have thick walls to hide behind. Life was hard, and , people thought little of clothing. Clothes were often made at home and were often rough and shapeless. Trousers, tunics and shawls were used to keep away the cold. The shawls were made of wool or fur and put over the shoulder. Most Europeans were dressed like today’s Benedictine monks, except for men’s trousers. Shoes were leather wrapped around the foot. Colors were plain; they were shades of gray, brown, dark blue and red. Conical hats were commonly worn.\n\nThis was a pyramidal society because the classes of people were in a shape of a pyramid.. with the kings and queens at the top of the pyramid (and were few in number) down to the peasants (who were many in number). In the middle were feudal lords, clerics, and others, such as vassals.\n\nTAILORING\nIn the Middle Ages, for the wealthy, most clothes were created by tailors. Some fabrics tailors used were : Burnet, perse, lincoln scarlet, kersey, russet, chalons, damask, and sandal. (Most of the population, however, made their clothing themselves).\n\nCLOTHING\nOften, kings and queens would wear crowns and brightly colored silks. Obviously, their clothing was very expensive and only they had enough money to afford such beautiful things.\n\nShoemakers and their spouses often wore borealis hats. The clothes they wore with that were woolen coats with fur-trimmed sleeves. Inside the coat was a woolen doublet.\n\nHoly orders, such as friars, wore cloaks with hoods and habits. On their clothes was a rope belt with wooden beads for counting prayers.\n\nFelt hats with stirrups and brown jackets were the daily wear of manor lords. Peasants' daily wear was simple: straw hats that they made themselves, linen shirts that they made themselves, leather flasks, hoses (pants), and pewter badges or good luck charms.

The Queen, Buckhingham Palace, Stonehenge, Castles all over the place, Museums everywhere, Stratford-Upon-Avon (where Shakespeare came from), Sherwood Forest (where Robin Hood lived), Nuneaton (where George Eliot lived), I'm sure there's plenty more but I can't think at the moment, Stratford's a very nice place though, as is most of Warwickshire.\nOh and you can go on a steam train in Wales, and see Loch Ness in Scotland and Hadrian's Wall.

there is a castle in Scotland that is said to be the home to a monster, a vampire, and an entire party of ghost. Hawaii may also be very haunted. the bell witch cave is also a very haunted place.

I am an American...was born and raised in Michigan....I am currently living in England about 45 min from London.  Its alright...it rains alot....but there is alot of history here and its really cool to see some of the old castles.  The Tower Of London is great but Stonehenge really wasn't that impressive.

Okay I think you mean the adress of Garden Lodge. Have a look here: http://www.queenconcerts.com/index.php?section=information&action=london#gardenlodge\nreddie lived here many years and he also died here. Mary Austin now lives here with her husband and children. The walls are much higher than they used to be (and also much cleaner). Please respect the privacy of people living in this area, don't climb anywhere, don't write anything on the walls. If you have problems finding this house, look at this small map. The street itself is very short but can be found very easily.\n\nGet off the tube at Earls Court. Follow the signs for 'Earls Court Road Exit'. Out of the station turn left and walk northward following Earls Court Road. Cross the junction with Cromwell Road and keep following Earls Court Road. Soon after the junction with Cromwell Road, on the west side of Earls Court Road you will find Logan Place. Walk almost till the end of Logan Place, until you reach Logan Mews, and on the left side you will find a red-bricked wall with a dark-green door - that's it.\nHave a further look on this part of the site. More places about where Freddie once lived in London and on where other important Queen places are in London.

Find people who have lived there and ask them how it is.  Search the WWW for accounts by people who have lived there.  If possible, go there and check it out before moving there.\nPersonally, I prefer living in Kent, east of the Medway River.  Lived there for 2 years - it was fantastic!
