Barnwell Manor (Barnwell)

 mansion / manor house / villa, Grade II Listed (UK)

Barnwell Manor, private residence, not open to the public.
Quite exceptional manor house, until 1995 the home of HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester and his family.
The original Elizabethan entrance hall, the oak panelled room inset with five magnificent seven foot paintings by James Seymour, the long gallery and Princess Alice's sitting room are wonderful backdrops for the vast array of furniture including pieces in oak, walnut, mahogany and satinwood. Much of this furniture is for sale since the house is partly occupied by Berengar Antiques.

In August 1645 King Charles I stayed at Barnwell Manor and would have walked from room to room. Besides our present Royal Family, other notable historical characters such as Sir Philip Sydney, the Dukes of Buccleuch, the Earl of Sandwich and the poet John Dryden have all stayed or lived at Barnwell.

The building is a Grade II listed building.
