Markenfield Hall, the Chapel

Slide 9 – Ascending the modern internal wooden staircase, we enter the old Banqueting Hall. The walls of this room are covered with paintings, mostly portraits of the ancestors of members of the Grantly family, the present owners of the estate. Passing through a door out of the Hall, at the dais end, we enter the Chapel. The east window is a fine geometrical one of three lights. Musing in these rooms we may fully realize the description of Tennyson’s “Moated Grange” where “Old faces glimmered through the doors, Old footsteps trod the upper floors”
