The staircase is ahead and the more informal family rooms found to the right-hand side and beyond. The Great Hall is one of the finest examples of 15th Century domestic architecture in England with a timbered roof which remains substantially as it was built before 1500. Much of the heraldic glass also dates from this time and there is delicate linenfold panelling and a screen with unusually long panels. The oriel window in the south wall contains some fine tracery and 16th Century heraldic glass. It depicts the marriage alliances of the Martyn family namely the - de Loundres, de Pydele, de Clevedon, Faringdon, Cheverell, Daubeny, Kelway and Wadham. The crest in each case is the chained ape. The family motto was ‘he who looks at Martyn’s ape, Martyn’s ape shall look at him’. At the very top of the first window is a celestial monkey with angel’s wings. He gazes bird-like into a gilded mirror that shows his reflection in its glass. The ape, which now wears a Saxon crown and carries a mace is the heraldic badge of the Cooke family. 6 From the Great Hall a 15th Century replacement of an earlier solar structure.

The profusion of windows in The Great Chamber contains more heraldic glass commemorating the owners of Athelhampton and their alliances. The plaster ceiling is in the Reindeer Inn pattern from Banbury and dates from about 1905 having been added during Cart de Lafontaine’s renovation. The finely figured oak panelling is of the 17th Century with Elizabethan carved panels over the fireplace in the Italian manner. Concealed in the thickness of the west wall is a staircase leading up to the floor above and down to a small cellar. A stone staircase leads up from the King’s Ante Room, passing a bathroom on the left and then leading to the King’s Room which is entered through an archway decorated with the Gothic lily wallpaper familiar in the Palace of Westminster. The room is on the site of the solar or withdrawing-room of the 15th Century house and is called the King’s Room because it was traditionally the place where the Manorial Court was held in the name of the King. The timbered ceiling, linenfold panelling and Ham stone fireplace combine with an oriel window to form a worthy 8 The Dining Room, also known 9 as The Green Parlour, is found on the far side of The Great Hall. Its decoration primarily dates from the late 19th Century (restored in the late 20th Century) but with fine carved 16th Century beams. From the dining room, double doors open through to the Private Drawing Room which is a delightful room with painted panelling and a door opening out onto the East Terrace overlooking the Private Garden. A passageway leads directly from the private drawing room, and another leads from the hall to access the kitchen and the 20th Century service wing which now contains many of the informal family rooms. The Kitchen has a good range of cupboards, including traditional butler’s cupboards and a 4-oven Aga. It has an adjoining Snug and an enclosed courtyard garden. Beyond the kitchen is Cloakroom/Laundry, Back Hall with a door out to the rear courtyard, Studio/Study, Office and a comfortable informal Sitting Room. 10 11 First Floor Bedroom has painted panelling and a The principal Staircase is a relatively recent pretty fireplace with Delft tiles.

GARDENS Athelhampton sits in just under 30 acres of gardens and grounds encircled by the River Piddle. The grounds are full of variety with a balance of formal and architectural elements, lawns, woodland, pasture and riverside. The southern boundary is marked by a crenelated quadrant wall, constructed by Sir Robert Cooke in the mid-20th Century. A pair of gate piers open onto a driveway which passes through an avenue of sycamore and horse chestnut trees in what is currently a parking area for visitors. An inner gate is found within a Tudor-gothic archway set in stone wall which encloses the forecourt of the house. A gravel driveway, flanked by formal lawns continues through the forecourt to reach the front door. 20 21

The formal gardens lie primarily to the south and east of the house and were built by Alfred Cart de Lafontaine between 1891 and 1899. They were designed by Inigo Thomas and are laid out as a series of outdoor rooms in the Renaissance style. At the centre of the formal gardens is the Corona which leads out to four separate rooms or courts. The largest is the Great Court which contains 12 magnificent Yew pyramids set around a pool with a ballustraded terrace to the south. The terrace has two garden houses named for the summer and winter. 22 East of the corona is the Lion’s Mouth with a cascade and pool and beyond here is the Lime Walk. To the north is the Private Garden, which sits opposite the east front. There is a ballustraded terrace adjacent to the house and a sunken lawn contains a long fishpond with a fountain. Some magnificent varieties of Magnolia were planted by Robert Cooke in the 1960s. To the east of the Private Garden and at the end of the Lime Walk is the Canal Garden, which was built in 1969-1970 by the Cooke family in the 16th Century style. To the

north are the Rose Garden, White Garden and WIDER GROUNDS Octagonal Cloister Garden, bordered by the Athelhampton and its gardens are surrounded River Piddle. by banks of mature deciduous trees to the The traditional 1 acre walled kitchen garden south, west and beyond the north bank of the pre-dates the formal gardens and is located River Piddle.

On the south-facing wall is a substantial Green House. To the far side of the Coach House the north driveway continues around the west side of The lawn to the west of the house is the grounds to access a private parking area dominated by the large dovecote which is to the north of the house. There is a partly understood to have room for 1,500 birds to enclosed courtyard adjacent to the north wing nest.
