A rare photograph of the Dining Room in the dilapidated house. Visible are a set of dining chairs still seen in the room today. Lost are the paintings by equestrian artist George Stubbs, two of which can be seen faintly in the photograph. Two occasional tables suggest that the room was no longer used for formal dining.
