Trying to find this victorian style font

Hey all,
My wife recently took over as general manager of the Saint Simons Inn and noone knows what font was used for the logo. Can someone please help me? I've spent a couple hours searching and I'm getting frustrated. :| Thanks!

The closest I have been able to find so far is Bromwich from Greater Albion Typefounders, who have other fonts with similar qualities, although not as close to this look.

Your font does seem to be a font (rather than hand-drawn), but I don't recognize it, and can't say it looks familiar.

If it’s not a font, you could always hire someone to draw a font based on the logo. Or do you just need to recreate the logo?

She wants me to help her out with the website and different promotional materials, so the exact font would be great. The closest thing I have is Harrington, but I'll check out Bromwich. I'm a perfectionist, so having the font would be great. :)
Thanks all...

I think this was based on Caxton Bold, based on the serif shape. The smaller 'I', 'O', and 'S' are perfect matches. The other letters would take minimal customization.
