This long half-timbered room on the first floor was originally intended to be a gallery but was later converted, in the 16th century, into what is now known as the 'new' (Tudor) chapel. This replaced the older chapel in another part of the building.

The main Drawing Room was developed by Sir William and Dame Dorothy Selby (1611- 1641) and includes the magnificent Jacobean fireplace painted in black and gold at the far end of the room.

The walls are hung with hand-painted 19th century Chinese wallpaper and that wallpaper is pretty impressive. Going through the doorway to the left of the fireplace leads to the gallery shown below.

The panelled upstairs hallway looking back into the Drawing Room. There are bedrooms behind the left-hand wall and the balustrade is around the stairwell to the ground floor.

The Library is one of the latest rooms and so the decor looks more modern and is just one of over 70 rooms in the house. Wandering around does make this house seem rather labrynthine but then it is a large house.
