After the castle fell to the Parliamentarians, Lady Mary Bankes was allowed to take the castle keys with her, and they ended up in Kingston Lacy library. I missed them in my 2024 visit to the latter, and thus made a trip to photograph them in 2026 (and I don't think the A77 would have done as good a job as the A7III did). Unfortunately, restricted access to the room made this the only angle I could photograph them from.
