More than
100 pieces of work by Thomas Chippendale at Nostell Priory form
England's finest collection of the cabinet-maker's work. Chippendale
was commissioned in 1766 to furnish the house of Sir Rowland Winn,
which had been built near the site of the medieval priory. Robert
Adam was commissioned to add the east wing and decorate the
interior. The house also contains fine paintings, silver and
porcelain, a set of Brussels tapestries and an 18th century doll's
house. In the grounds are the 16th century Wragby church, rose
gardens, a lakeside walk and an adventure playground. Time
to visit : May-June when the Rhododendrons are in full bloom.
