Page "Gawsworth Old Hall" Paragraph 7

To the south of the Long Hall is the Dining Room, which is little changed since the Tudor era.

Its contents include a 16th-century refectory table, an oak escritoire from about 1650, and items of Wedgwood majolica ware made in about 1830.

The Dining Room leads to the small Guard Room, which contains two 17th-century chairs and an 18th-century blunderbuss.

To the west of this is the Drawing Room, the principal living room of the hall which has been little altered since the middle of the 16th century.

To the south of the Drawing Room is a small room known as the Gold Room.

This room has retained a frieze dating from the early 16th century, including carvings of Tudor roses, flowers and birds.

Also in the room is a bust of Charles Gerard.

In the southeast corner of the hall is the Green Room.

This contains a painting of Gawsworth Rectory by Charles Tattershall Dodd, and a complete set of a dinner service by Minton, comprising 120 pieces.
