M. H. Baillie Scott · Houses Illustrated
St. Mary’s
This is a somewhat special type of plan in which there are Jess than the normal number of bedrooms and a drawing-room on the upper floor. The staircase, as the approach to the drawing-room, is therefore somewhat wider than usual and is supplemented by a back stair for the servants. The hall and dining-room are divided by a partition with a wide doorway, and in the study a little Eastern oratory is a special feature.
