Baldwin and Kitty Bantock’s style shines through on the ground floor, with an abundance of patterned wallpapers, decorative glass, and wood paneling. Many of the items on display are from their own collection, including a stunning japanned cabinet, a carved ivory chess set and pieces of English porcelain. The Dining Room has been furnished to represent what the Bantock family’s dining room might have looked like one hundred years ago. Take a seat and flip through albums that tell the stories of the house and its occupants. In the Bantock’s tranquil drawing room, you can find out about Baldwin and Kitty’s love of gardening. Relax and take in the views of the gardens, which have been restored to Baldwin’s original designs — and remember to look out for a surprise in the paddock where the family used to keep Highland cattle! Before making your way upstairs, you are invited to settle by the cosy inglenook fireplace in the lobby and browse through our collection of books about Arts & Crafts design. This BSL signed video is part of a signed guide that Deaf visitors to Bantock House can use to enhance their visit to the house.
