They were not on display for others. His collections are as they were and they are not well displayed as such, just grouped in relevant rooms. It is a house full of organised clutter. I recently visited Berrington Hall which at the time was showing various costume collections. Some of the costumes were from Snowshill Manor where there was no room to display them...

These days with the easy accessibility of such places, the growing love of furniture design, ceramics and art thanks to a variety of common educating routes, people seem to appreciate well displayed objects better. On a side note, I remember visiting the nearby Lavender farm twice at the end of circular Cotswold day trips. it was possible that we may have passed the entrance and didn't realise what was here.

As soon as she was ready we promised to pick up on the weekend away. Oxford is far to expensive at this time of year so the destination had to be flexed.
