Title
Burton Agnes Hall, The Oak Drawing Room - HLS05720
Description
Slide 15 - Passing through the archway at the end of the Hall, we now enter what is called the Oak Drawing Room.
Over the fireplace is a very strange carving, 'The Dance of Death', carved out of one solid piece of oak about 8 feet by 5 feet, the ancient legend being curiously represented in a very elaborate manner.
The walls of this room are covered with paneling of oak, in the form of circular arches with a pilaster between each, all elaborately carved and ornamented.
