boot sale and Burton Constable part three

Now to the house, have changed machines now so can hopefully put quite a few pictures. a great house with fantastic, enthusiastic guides. You start by entering the great hall.

Then into the spectacular dining room.

This next room was designed for exercising, the guide said if you walked up and down it twenty two times it was a mile!

Quite something to be this close to a chair that Queen Victoria had sat on.

A very plush dressing room.

There was some lovely inlaid furniture in one of the rooms.

This statue was made with what looks like a plastic bag over it's head, it represents 'love is blind' and has a nasty looking arrow it its hand!

This looks like a pretty sturdy wheelchair.

The Chinese room was full of dragons.

I was told that the gilding on this piano cost a lot more than the actual piano did!

I'll finish with the entrance hall, bigger than some houses.
