Slide 8 - Much of the furniture has come down from earlier ages when chairs were polished with elbow grease instead of patent furniture paste, and the plain oak was left to darken and glow with time.
Farnley contains an almost unique collection of old oak chests and a most interesting gathering it is, from the iron bound chests with mighty hinges and locks to the delicately carved and beautifully modeled specimens of later periods. The massive oak furniture and Elizabethan paintings together with the armour and other relics just described, give a real historic grandeur to this fine apartment.

Slide 7 - There is some very fine old oak furniture, also a chimney piece with a quaint over mantle of oak. Among a mass of historical relics preserved here may be mentioned the hat, and sword used by Cromwell, a watch that also belonged to the Protector, also two swords which belonged to Fairfax and General Lambert.
Also a document dated April 14th 1626 in which his Gracious Majesty, King Charles the 1st proposed (without consent of his parliament) to borrow £13.6.8d from Mr Thomas Fawkes. It is hoped that his Majesty repaid the money lent him, but on this point history is silent.
