This fine Mansion from which we have already given some illustrations,
possesses much furniture of the description here given. The form or
long seat is peculiar in style and is one of a number, formerly in the
Chapel. It has the date 1562 and the letters W. S., the initials of the
Strickland of that time, carved upon it.
XXXVII. Door of a Cupboard, and Carved Seat ends in the Chapel of
Brougham Hall.
This Chapel has become, for its size, perhaps the most gorgeously
decorated in England, under the direction of Mr. W. Brougham. Many rich
carvings have been collected and the whole illuminated. The cupboard or
press is beside the altar and holds the sacramental vessels. It is carved
wood, and the iron hinges and the lock have been lately gilt.
