This is more than a tour of a building. The attention to minute detail, so easy to miss in a video shoot of rooms, is a rare treat. Thank you so much, Mr Gosling!

The frieze is absolutely one of my favorite features of the exterior. What a treasure that all the furnishings are in still in situ after all these years.

It is a national treasure inside and out. Drawing the frieze feels like such a privilege.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Obviously, to the principals, money was no matter with the architect Decimus Burton in the 1820's and 1830's.
