The Medworth Room and Study

 

The Medworth Room is the second reception room on the middle floor. During the occupancy of Mr and Mrs Fendick, this was the bedroom of Mrs Fendick's mother, who lived to the age of 101. During the tenure of Mr Bradley, this was his dentist's surgery. The principal portrait is that of Mrs Hart-Davis, the wife of a doctor in Parson Drove.

Furniture includes a Regency Secretaire Cabinet, an early 19th century clothes press and a 19th Century commode cabinet stands adjacent to the fireplace..

The Oak longcase clock is by Pattrick of Wisbech.

The Study

A connecting door leads to the study, the inner door is constructed from window shutters and hangs upside down.

This room is principly furnished with an Edwardian mahogany pedestal desk and an early Victorian Secretaire cabinet, the 19th century longcase clock includes a portrait of Lord Nelson

A George III mahogany washstand, William IVcarver chair, a Beech teapoy and a Early Victorian Pole Screen are to be found

A room of identical proportions to this was located in the opposite front wing of the building with access from the corridor and Fendick Room, this has since been converted into toilets and provides space for a fire escape from the upper floor. This was constructed in the early 60's when a curator was resident in a flat upstairs, ths is now offices.
