Lord Allendale's Study<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

In 2015, all that remained of Lord Allendale's Study was a bare room with its original early Georgian chimneypiece.\u00a0 This fireplace - the oldest in the Mansion - is one of only four remaining.\u00a0 All others were removed by Viscount Allendale in 1948, when Bretton Hall was sold to the West Riding County Council. \u00a0 The photograph from The Bretton Book\u00a0 shows a picture of Lord Allendale's Study in 1938, with a remarkable Grinling Gibbons' wooden carving of game, fish and fruit over the doorway from the hallway.\u00a0 This carving is now in place at the Allendale home in Northumberland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
