It has an exceptionally fine Restoration interior, showing exquisite woodcarvings by Grinling Gibbons, a richly decorated staircase by Edward Pierce, and murals by Laguerre. The Long Gallery at 138 feet is one of the longest and most lavish of its kind, it is a really beautiful room, very calm with fine views over the undulating countryside and the River Dove.
