A Son of the Rock

I posted photos of the exterior of Auckland Castle/Palace and of its chapel here.

Proceeding from the chapel into the Palace proper you come into the impressive Bishop’s Throne Room:-

Fireplace and painting:-

Ceiling:-

The Castle/Palace interior has been updated/redecorated over the years and some of the older fixtures and fittings have been kept.

Old wallpaper:-

Fireplace, chairs and table:-

Fireplace tiles:-

I can’t now remember if this stained glass window was in the chapell or elsewhere:-

Eventually the route through the Castle takes you to the Dining Room where the Zurbaran paintings are kept.

The last of the rooms accessible to the public is the 1930s study of the then bishop:-
