State Rooms
Eight State Rooms are open to the public for viewing on Sundays* Designed by John Vardy and James ‘Athenian’ Stuart, these rooms were amongst the first neo-classical interiors in Europe.
Vardy’s Palm Room, with its spectacular screen of gilded palm trees, is a unique Palladian set-piece, while the elegant mural decorations of Stuart’s Painted Room reflect the eighteenth-century passion for classical Greece and Rome.
