Croome Court is slowly being restored by the National Trust after having suffered under several short-term owners. The Gallery shown in the photograph was the best preserved room and can now be seen empty of the kind of furniture, rugs, paintings etc that it would have held when built. The house is the work of Lancelot "Capability" Brown, a man better known as a landscape gardener. The interiors include work by the celebrated Robert Adam.
