Design for the hall (now the morning room), largely unexecuted, c1766 (1)

This space, on the south front of the house and adjacent to the drawing room, was conceived by Adam as the entrance to the house. It now functions as the morning room.

The majority of Adam's design from Adam volume 50/47 was not executed, but an alternative version of the Doric frieze shown here remains in situ. The executed metopes within this frieze are ornamented with roundels containing alternating Clifford wyverns and Lee lions. Particularly attractive additions to this design are the executed anthemia within scrolled hearts that ornament the door architraves.
