Thrumpton Hall

It contains a library, a medieval kitchen, a double cube reception room, baronial hall, and a priest hole.

It also hosts a collection of portraits, furniture and needlework, as well as various relics of the poet Lord Byron, whose descendants lived at Thrumpton.

Thrumpton Hall is renowned for its cantilever Jacobean staircase, carved in wood from the estate.

This was added to the earlier house by the Pigot family, and shows their coat of arms and that of the former Powdrell owners.

The staircase was supervised by John Webb, a pupil of Inigo Jones.
