Unlike many of the houses we have seen, Burleigh's kitchen seemed to be one great hall, rather than a collection of lesser rooms; anyhow, those are turtle heads on the wall |
"You rang, sir?" final episode |
We were more impressed with the furniture and furnishings, though little of it was Elizabethan |
William Cecil, Lord Burleigh |
His boss, the Queen |
One of many such rooms |
Bed for Queen Victoria's visit; despite the steps, the bed still had to be shortened for her |
Silver fireplace ware |
Exquisite room after exquisite room; this one of the George rooms |
An incredible chest |
The Italian Baroque muralist Antonio Verrio spent ten years at Burleigh, doing walls, ceilings, staircases...here, just a bit of his "Heaven" room; well, it was a Classical heaven |
And here, a bit of his Hell Staircase |
And, lastly, a great hall easily the size of a tennis court... |

...and now people will have "George" rooms again since the newest heir to the throne is another George.
