Eastbury Manor House
Distinguished features
Preservation by National Trust ownership has ensured that some fascinating period features remain.
The west wing of the house was traditionally used by servants. The servant's hall has been restored, and oak panelling painted 'Eastbury brown' gives the room a warm appearance.
Servants Hall
Upstairs, 2 rooms which were used by residents were decorated with wall paintings.
Fishing scene frescoes
Frescoes depicting fishing scenes survive in the Painted Room. Others which used to grace the elegant Long Gallery have disappeared. However, the sole remaining Tudor fireplace can be seen here.
Newel post staircase
In the west staircase, a remarkable newel post staircase provides access in the remaining octagonal turret.
The attic
More interesting woodwork is the prominent attraction of the attic area where the construction of the timber skeleton of the house is exposed.
