The Panelled Room
Until the 19th century, this room was used as an anti-chamber to the everyday living quarters. In 1840, the panelling and ceiling were introduced and it became a morning room where the family and guests might pass the time between breakfast and luncheon.

The Panelled Room and the Large Library are located in the centre of the Old Keep and were originally vaulted.

The window recesses give an idea of the immense thickness of the walls, which are up to 13 feet deep in places!
