The original house was built in the 1100s, but it was vastly enlarged in the 1680s.
The back of the house contains the chapel which remains from the medieval house
Inside the chapel
The house contains the National Trust’s finest collection of pictures, sculptures, furniture and carvings. The grand rooms were built to display the art work
The Carved Room
The North Gallery
The Servants’ Quarters, built in the 1750s are vast too. They contain a series of kitchens and other service rooms, connected to the House by underground tunnels.
They have 1,000 copper pots and pans
