Please note that we've been concerned for some time about the condition of the plasterwork in the Great Parlour ceiling which, incidentally, isn't original but Victorian, having replaced a ceiling that collapsed during a storm in 1883.
Recently, a small piece of plasterwork fell and a crack visibly widened which means for health and safety reasons, we cannot allow access into that room until we've had a proper structural survey and the necessary repairs have been carried out.
However, don't despair! You can still see the room here and we'll let you know when it's once again open to actual as well as virtual viewing.
The Friends, Nov 2007
This room is displayed as the master's bedchamber. Bedchambers served dual functions and were often used as day rooms or to entertain guests. The bed dates from 1590 and was known as a tester bed. A very grand piece made of oak with marquetry headboard and elaborate carvings and probably a prized heirloom as beds like this were handed down from one generation to the next. On loan from V & A Museum. The hangings are reproductions made by Christopher Pratts of Bradford.
