Drawing room

Photograph of drawing room showing furniture

This was the Holts’ best room. The fireplace and the pictures are still here, but everything else has changed since their time.

The Holts’ furniture has gone, but we have put in some Victorian furniture to give this corner of the room a similar look. The wallpaper now in the room probably dates from George Holt’s time.
