I was amazed when I jokingly asked the guide in this sumptuous bedroom if I could get into the bed to be told yes if I took off my shoes. Comfy and cosy!
During the making of a TV series about Avebury Manor the BBC beautifully refurbished some rooms, including this one.
On the right is the smallest room and I've never seen such an ornate commode. The privy at the end of my grandparents' little back garden, when I was a child growing up in the rural Suffolk village of Claydon in the 1950s, bore no resemblance at all to this - except, of course, the basic design.
Normally you can't sit on any chair or touch anything but I think the BBC must have laid down some conditions when they refurbished the place for the TV series. National Trust, England do let you take pics (without flash) but In Scotland that's not allowed at all.
WOT??!!! With everybody watching????!!!!
Seriously I've never seen anything like that before!
