The Saloon, Croft Castle


The Saloon (also known as the Drawing Room) is the largest room at Croft Castle. It has Early Georgian panelling but the ceiling and doorcases are by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard (1723-1777), an architect and interior decorator, who is best known as the designer of the world's first iron bridge at Iron Bridge. The fireplace is by the architect, Walter Sarel (1863-1941), who did extensive work on the Castle in 1913 and 1937.
