Room 4 - THE OLD DRAWING ROOM

This part of the house was built in 1840.

 

This room was once part of the old Drawing Room and there is a photograph taken of it at the turn of the last century behind the sofa in the Hall.

 

Before the fire that devastated Langrish House in 1976, this was a huge room which included Room 5.  It used to have windows looking East and South.   On the south lawn there is a Ginko Tree – these are trees left over from the Ice Age.

 

When Langrish House was restored after the Fire, the room was divided into two and the ceiling lowered about 5 feet.  The window behind the two beds was blocked up. 

 

In the 70’s this room was used as an antique shop, and then as a Nursery School.
