A unique 16-sided house
built on the instructions of two spinster cousins, Jane and Mary
Parminter, on their return from a grand tour of Europe. Completed c.1796,
the house contains many 18th-century objects and collections brought back
by the Parminters. The fascinating interior decoration includes a feather
frieze and shell-encrusted gallery which, due to its fragility, can only
be viewed on closed-circuit television.
