The embroidery depicted in Lady Jane Goodall's painting may be compared to a contemporary embroidered seat cover housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Nunwick Hall as it stands now was built between 1748 and 1752, after Lady Jane Allgood in 1738 had married her cousin, Sir Lancelot Allgood (1711-1782), and the estate was brought with her as part of the marriage settlement.
