Inside the library

One of the Victorian rooms at Delapre Abbey. Furnished as it would have been when it was owned by the Bouverie family. All of the books are available to be taken off the shelves and read - and all the chairs can be sat on!

Lovely interior shot

I could go to sleep on the settee...or is it a bed? Or is it both!

[Diana Moss]

I wonder if they ever get time to read all those books ?

@jamibann Apparently according to the story, the lady in the picture was the owner's 'bit on the side'!

[Issi Bannerman]

@busylady Oh dear. I pity the Mrs then, having to look at that every day! Maybe she was blissfully unaware!

[Beth]

What an inviting place to sit and read. Some families lived very nice lives in the past.

How wonderful, it’s not often you get a chance to do something like this in such an old house !
