Stanway
House is noted for its mellow, peaceful atmosphere, created
by its age (it was finished in the calm decade before the Civil
War), by its stone (a delicious Cotswold stone known as Guiting
Yellow), by its architecture (Jacobean mullions and gables
and Cotswold slates), by its furniture (most of which, like
the Charles I working shuffleboard table, has been in the
house since it was made), and by its setting (sheltered in a
hollow at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, close to the
church, Gatehouse, Tithe Barn and cottages and surrounded by
an enchanting garden and ancient parkland). The charming interior
gives every appearance of being lived in, and in no sense resembles
a museum. |
