Saltram House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saltram House is a George II era mansion located in Plympton, Plymouth, England. The house that can be seen today is the work of Robert Adam, who altered the original Tudor house on two occasions. The saloon (main drawing room) is sometimes cited as one of Adam's finest interiors. Complete with all of the original decor, plasterwork and furnishings, Saltram is one of Britain's best preserved examples of an early Georgian house.
Originally home to the Parker family and Earls of Morley, Saltram House changed hands when, in 1957, it became a property of the National Trust, who operate it under the name "Saltram".
[edit] Trivia
Saltram House was used as one of several local settings for the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility.
The silting up of the Laira means that the view to the west is of a muddy estuary for all but the top of the tide and the over-filling of the Plymouth refuse dump at Chelson Meadow to the south now completely obscures the former view of Plymouth Sound.
