The Front Bedroom, in the attic, contains this superb Tester bed. Made of oak, with scroll carving on the canopy, posts and panelled back, this a fine example of 16th century craftsmanship. The original iron rods for the curtains are still in position and have been used to hang these new drapes.
In the Rear Bedroom are a number of pieces of oak furniture and this very interesting box bed from France. Made in Brittany of carved oak, with a sliding door and decorated with cherubs, this provided considerable warmth and privacy. It was transported to Plymouth by fishing boat in 1909.
Come back tomorrow to see the recreated Elizabethan Garden.
