点评:We stopped off here as a break in the journey on our way into Cornwall and so didn't have time to see the grounds which are extensive.
We did visit the house and there are three "trails" through the house, we did all three.
From when you first see the house you realise that it's not the usual NT offering. It's not neatly placed in the landscape with a ha-ha to manage the grounds. The house and the formal gardens are enclosed by a wall. The gateway into it is impressive.
It's different inside too. Lots of panelling in the corridors, white decorated plaster ceilings. It did seem a bit dark in the corridors but maybe the sun-stopping net curtains were doing that.
Apparently most of the house had been destroyed in fire but the rebuilt house is still furnished as before due to the servants rescuing all the contents into the courtyard.
Interesting cooling channels in the kitchen workspaces.
翻译:我们在前往康沃尔郡的途中在这里稍作停留,因此没有时间游览广阔的庭院。
我们参观了主屋,屋内有三条“游览路线”,我们全部体验了一遍。
从第一眼看到这座房子,你就会意识到它与国家名胜古迹信托基金会 (NT) 的其他景点截然不同。它并非巧妙地融入周围的景观,也没有用壕沟来管理庭院。主屋和正式花园都被围墙环绕。入口处的大门令人印象深刻。
内部也别具一格。走廊里有很多护墙板,天花板是装饰精美的白色石膏。走廊里似乎有点暗,也许是因为遮光的纱帘造成的。
据说这座房子的大部分都毁于火灾,但重建后仍然保留着原有的家具,因为仆人们把所有东西都抢救到了庭院里。
厨房工作区里有很有意思的冷却管道。
