The Library

Originally designated by the architect as a breakfast room, the library is an example of the Theomins ringing the changes in the house design and bringing their own wishes into the planning of their new home.

The mid-nineteenth century French mantle clock is an example of fine workmanship with ebonised wood and inlaid decorative metals and is one of many fine clocks still all functioning in the house today.

The library was a focal point for matters relating to family correspondence. Many letters would have been written from the library table, weighed and sealed for despatch around the world.
