Inside Burghley House.

For years there was a total ban on photo's inside the house. Now permission was granted I took advantage . Flash is not allowed because the paintings are 300 years old.

A beautiful set of pics, Littleowl. Lovely thing to send this Canadian off to bed. Thanks so much. Cheers.

Left this one out but doubled the bed by mistake..

Is this the stately home near Stamford?If so, I have walked around the grounds and had a coffee there in the orangery, but did't pay to go inside as there was no time.

Didn't they have florid tastes then?Some of the things are lovely, others not.

Thanks for sharing your great photographs littleowl. That must have been an interesting tour. The textiles are lovely and I like some of the furniture and carpets. Except for maybe 1 or 2, I'll pass on all the artwork though. Hard to believe anyone actually lived in this place.

Nice photos but talk about gaudy decorating.
