| Library |
| The LIBRARY retains much of the character it possessed in the Colonel's lifetime. Built in the 1890s as the family dining room, it took on its present form during the 1930s with the extension of the New Dining Room to the east. The walls are covered in a wool and flax damask which shows off the family portraits to advantage. Over the chimneypiece is the Portrait of Colonel Gascoigne by Herman Gustav Herkomer. It is flanked by paintings of his maternal and paternal grandfathers, Richard Oliver Gascoigne and Charles Trench. The bookcases were brought here from Parlington Hall early this century and the small glazed showcase houses Lady Gascoigne's collection of china and delftware cows.
