Catalogue Note
"...This house is much embellished after the Elizabethan fashion, it has not had the good fortune, however, to be so religiously preserved, since various portions have undergone modern alterations. The bedroom, of which a drawing is here given, is the most curious feature of the interior. The panelling of this apartment is inlaid with a profuse expenditure of labour peculiar to the decoration of former days... this apartment... contains a finely carved mantel-piece, and a carved oak bedstead also." (Joseph Nash, Mansions of England in the Olden Times, London, 1839 – 1849, v. 4, p. 64)
