Title
Burton Agnes Hall, the White Drawing Room - HLS05727
Description
Slide 22 - What formally was used as a Natural History Museum, in the last Baronet's time, (Sir Henry Somerville Boynton, who died in 1899) is now called the White Drawing Room.
As will be noticed, this apartment possesses features of a severe classic character, quite different, in this respect, to the other portions of the house we have seen, which are of the earlier or Jacobean period.
This change was carried out at the commencement of the eighteenth century by Sir Griffiths Boynton, the 3rd Baronet, who had previously come into possession of the Burton Agnes Estates, and who came to reside at the Hall.
In the room, as shown in the extreme left in the picture, is an ancient harpsichord, with two keyboards.
