Knightshayes pt. 2 - The House
After strolling through the gardens, we go inside the extraordinary Gothic revival house. The house was designed by William Burges but the Heathcoat-Amory family rejected many of his lavish interior plans because of the expense. J.D. Grace and other architects completed the house as it is today. The Entrance Porch The Great Hall The Great Hall The Library I think the ceilings impressed me the most. Almost every room had a unique one - The Boudoir Bedroom with wall frieze decoration A 17th century linen press Ornate Pottery The embroidered bedspread on the mahogany four-poster bed in The Bedroom The Billiard Room Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
