I finally went to see the movie Gosford Park last week. As usual, we stuck around till the last line of credits to see where it was filmed. The film gave credit to Syon House and the Duke of Northumberland.

Meanwhile, in Peter Barnes' collection of country dance music,there is a tune called Sion House with the date of 1686. I wonder if the present-day Syon House and the tunes'Sion House are the same place. If so, it will tickle people.

There's a Sion House in Northern Ireland, but it wasn't built until 1842, so I believe that's out.

To complicate things further, I visited a butterfly garden near London several years ago, and it seems to me that it was on the grounds of Sion House. Is there a Sion House near London? Or was that Syon House?

BTW, I came a across a web page for a fundraiser held by a Leukemia (though that's not how they spell it) Society in the U.K., and they spell it Syon House in one place and Sion House in the next breath. --------------- Finally, in the credits they mentioned a harp. Has anyone watched Gosford Park and noticed a harp playing? If so, in what scene?
