A sneaky peak inside... the Blue Drawing Room

The Blue Drawing Room at Treasurer's House has undergone many changes to its size, layout and decor, particularly during the late 17th century (the ceiling has been preserved from this period).

The room was once split in two, which Frank Green furnished as a Queen Anne drawing room and a Restoration room. Around 1910, the partition was removed and the chimney was re-centred to suit the larger space.

The majestic peacock blue decoration was Frank Green's choice to match the elegant furniture and antiques he wanted to proudly display in the room.

Could you imagine yourself relaxing here as a lord or lady?
