Great Drawing room at Christmas - a photo on Flickriver

William Constable commissioned a new dining room incorporating a museum and experiment room. Following his marriage in 1775, he settled on a plan to create the Great Drawing Room which was completed in 1776.

The Clifford Constables undertook extensive redecoration in 1840. The ceiling and all the woodwork was repainted and the walls covered in bright yellow silk. The carpet was woven with the family crest a huge palm tree ottoman was placed in the centre of the room.

The Constables have been associated with a building on this site since the C13th when they gave their name to the manor of Burton, meaning settlement at a fortified dwelling.

The oldest part is the North Tower, known as Stephen’s Tower. In the late C15th century a new brick manor house was built at Burton Constable. Much of this was in turn demolished in the 1560s, when Sir John built a new Elizabethan mansion, incorporating the remains of the earlier manor house and the North Tower.
