Description
Slide 4 - The house is rich in portraits of the Cholmleys and the Yorkshire families with which they have intermarried.
Amongst other curious relics inside the house is a large model of a warship of the time of Charles the First, fully rigged and fitted up complete to the minutest detail. On a card is printed the following, 'A model of his Brittanic Majesty's Ship 'The Rupert' 64 guns, commanded by Admiral Sir Edward Spraggs, who conveyed Sir Hugh Cholmley from Tangiers after completion of the Mole, of which he was chief Commander, on the 9th March 1672'.
