This vast late 17th Century mansion has been in the hands of the Wyndham family for the past 250 years. Current descendants live in the south wing, allowing much of the remainder to be open to the public. The hauntingly atmospheric servants' quarters reveal the huge kitchen with its extensive copper batterie de cuisine, along with larders, still rooms, pastry room and the chef's sitting-room.
