House Tour
The Indian Dressing Room
The Indian Dressing Room and the adjacent Gothick Room, formed the principal lodging of the mid 18th
century house, and would have been entered by doors from the passage. Each room shared the Dark Room with the
lodgings beyond so that two servants could look after three sets of apartments.
In the Indian Dressing Room is a reproduction of the wallpaper put up here in the 1880s by Mrs Meynell Ingram,
Morris & Co's 'Indian' pattern. The room contains a suite of scarlet japanned chairs made by Giles Grendey
originally exported to the Duke of Infantado's castle in Spain.
