The interior of the Elizabethan House (1)

This is the Front Parlour, the main reception room. The large window, spans the full width of the house, it is the window you can see at first floor level in yesterday's post.

All the items on display throughout the house are authentic to the period and many have been carefully selected from local archaeological finds.

The Kitchen, with its large inglenook fireplace, is on the ground floor whilst the Eating Room is  on the first floor.

Access to the upper floors is reached through a spiral staircase, a typical feature of houses in old Plymouth. The central newel is almost certainly a disused ship's mast and probably the work of a local shipwright, while the heavy rope guide is another traditional feature.
