He was one of the most significant collectors and antiquarians of his day, and he rebuilt a part of the house to display his collection. These rooms are decorated in different historical periods from the 16th to the 19th centuries and filled with furniture and objects to match. There are Drawing rooms, Dinning rooms, Bedrooms, Kitchens etc. He gifted the house & contents to the National Trust in the 1930's and 13 rooms are currently open to view.<br /><br />I went on a candle-lit tour this time last year, a rare chance to see the house as it would have been before gas or electric light came along.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093410113028503578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351264115144090876.post-59491333260582781202011-10-31T22:27:25.405+00:002011-10-31T22:27:25.405+00:00What were the other rooms used for, do you know?What were the other rooms used for, do you know?Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351264115144090876.post-78901840911135290542011-10-31T22:19:21.368+00:002011-10-31T22:19:21.368+00:00One lucky individual, an elderly gentleman, lived ...One lucky individual, an elderly gentleman, lived in 6 of the many rooms in the house until he sadly passed away last year.
