The parlour is decorated in true Victorian fashion and contains a great deal of interesting Victoriana.
There are ornaments everywhere, an aspidistra plant and, of course, a family bible. On the wall is a primitive weather glass. The water in the device rises up the spout when the barometric pressure is low and foretells wet weather.
The
Parlour
The oak corner cupboard and longcase clock pre-date the period by about a century, just as any room today might house earlier pieces of furniture.
The eight day clock is one of two known to have been made by William Wadforth (Wadsworth) the Homsea blacksmith, in about 1790.
