The Regents Gallery is an example of a Regency period room.
It is 131 feet (40 meters) long with a large bay in the centre of the room housed within the large round tower you saw towards the left of yesterday's photo post.
There are three large fireplaces, some English Regency furniture and many interesting decorative items on display. The crystal chandeliers immediately catch the eye, and there are tapestries on the walls as you enter the room.
The grandeur of the room is enhanced by the numerous mirrors, beautifully designed carpet, the richly coloured curtains and a selection of attractive paintings, amongst a variety of other features.
This room, and other impressive rooms on our tour through the house give an impressive glimpse of a very different way of life to mine.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I must admit I sometimes feel a little out of place in such grand surroundings, but it is always fascinating to visit a country location like this for the first time, with so much new to see, and so many photo opportunities!

Thank you Vesna - I enjoyed the tour, but I'm not sure I could feel comfortable living in such a grand place!
