Interiors

 The interior of the house is quite unique, in that it displays elements of interior design that relate to each period of its history. Some of the rooms demonstrate the grand Tudor style of decoration, with heavy, carved oak furniture and tapestries.  

During the Victorian period the Kay family refurbished much of the interior. To recreate a flavour of the 17th century they used reclaimed features from other houses that had been demolished, including stained glass and wood panelling which was salvaged from Middleton Hall. Other parts of the house such as the Bradshaw suite are decorated and furnished in the later 19th century Arts and Crafts style and clearly show the Victorian taste for pattern and detail. Wonderful plasterwork ceilings, as in the drawing room (originally installed by the Elizabethan Orrells) can now be seen restored to their former glory.
