The Drawing Room
This room was formed during the 1840s by combining the Drawing Room with the 17th century Music Room. It has the richest of all the ceilings, consisting of laurel wreaths with garlands of fruit and flowers at one end and musical instruments picked out in gold at the other.

The dividing arch in this room conceals a secret turnpike staircase leading to the upper floors. Also in this room is a bust of Captain Sir Frederick Maitland, to whom Napoleon surrendered on board HMS Bellerophon after the Battle of Waterloo.
