Burghley Staff 9792 - a photo on Flickriver

Burghley House, Stamford. The Hogs Hall contains a system of pulley-operated bells to summon staff upstairs. Designed and built by William Cecil (High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth 1) between 1555 and 1587. The interiors, with elaborate plaster-work and incredible trompe d'oeil paintings took much longer. The staff areas are much plainer, although the high vaulted ceiling in the kitchen is spectacular. The house is now owned by a charitable trust, though parts are still lived in by the family, and is Grade 1 listed. The house lies just within Cambridgeshire, but the extensive parkland straddles Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, with Stamford being the nearest town.
