Comments
In the time of George Eliot, she described the dining room as being sparsely furnished, which allowed one to admire its architecture fully. It reminded her more of the inside of a cathedral, than a dining room.

This was also the inspiration for Cheveril Manor, from George Eliot’s, “Scenes of Clerical Life”.
The external, gothick appearance comes from the late eighteenth century.
