The small Blue Silk Bedroom is almost filled by the splendid 18th century state bed. In the adjoining dressing room, if you can tear your gaze from the delightful small painting of "The Virgin and Child" by Gentileschi, (swapped with Pope Clement XIV by the 9th Earl for a telescope!) or from the glorious Chinese blue and white porcelain, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of "Capability" Brown’s lake and the Lion Bridge from the window.
