It is a small room and far more cozy than that of the Great Hall. But it had several doors leading off from it, clearly a transitional space, but with a peculiar charm.
Needless to say, finding a neat little passage into a room like this is what makes the adventuring into Regency England so worthwhile.
There are a couple of items of note in this ante room other than its delightful quaintness, perfect for a scene in a novel,on is the item on the table on the right. It is a Coade-stone torchere by Coade and Sealy, Lambeth, 1810, part of a set of ten that once belonged to the Prince of Wales.
The second is the large portrait. This is Princess Sophia, daughter of George III believed to have been the mother of an illegitimate son who lived not far away at Islington House in Puddletown.
