This is not a 'Stately Home' like those of dukes and barons. It is a beautiful country house set in 1400 acres of sweeping Surrey countryside. The NT do allow photography inside the house provided no flash is used. Many window blinds were drawn down to protect the contents from the sun but I did my best to capture just a little of the interior to give a flavour of the Edwardian opulence. The house is crammed with art, lavish furniture and antiques and objects d'art.
Here are a few pictures:
This is the front of the house that faces east.
A closer view showing the clock tower.
Inside at the top of the stairs there is a gallery with the walls clad with old tapestries.
The dining room is set for 12 that would have been a normal weekend house party.
In the lavish drawing room an old gentleman was playing 'Clare de Lune' on the piano.
The central chandelier in the drawing room was made by Baccarat.
One end of the drawing room or 'Saloon' as they list it on the plan.
The library is a very comfortable room and Margaret Grevilles husbands desk is just as he left it. He die just two years after they moved to Polseden Lacey.
Finaly a view over the lovely Surrey countryside from the east lawn.
I know I have said it before but we have such a wonderful heritage and The National Trust and English Heritage are doing so much to retain it for the nation.
