Window in the south wall

The drawing room bay was made exactly the same size as the one in the morning room, with full length curtains to cut it off from the rest of the room at night. This was a sensible way of concealing the easel and Linley's untidiness when visitors came. Sambourne was obviously very proud of the striking and original stained glass. In 1888 a drawing of Sambourne posing in front of this window was published in "Kensington Picturesque and Historical".
