| New Dining Room |
| The NEW DINING ROOM which, although designed in 1908, was not completed until 1931. Many of the original furnishings survive, particularly the horseshoe drinking table and Imperial dining table, part of a documented ensemble supplied by Gillows of Lancaster for the dining room at Parlington Hall in 1811. In the Colonel's day the dining chairs were of shieldback type, but these were replaced in the 1950s by Victorian Chippendale-style chairs (possibly made by Edwards & Roberts of London) from Lady Gascoigne's family home, Wentbridge House, Pontefract. Over the sideboard hangs Edward Hughes's Portrait of Mrs Gascoigne and her son Alvary, at their Scottish estate, Craignish. The DINING ROOM CORRIDOR is hung with military and sporting prints from the Gascoigne collection. Also here in a corner of the BUTLER'S PANTRY can be seen jewellery, miniatures, silver and plate from the Temple Newsam and Lotherton collections.
