Description:
Interior view of the great hall at Audley End, Essex, looking towards the fireplace. The hall is partially panelled and above it hangs a number of paintings (unidentified portraits) and flags. The fireplace is elaborately carved wood which bears a large crest (possibly that of Baron Braybrooke) and also incorporates terminal figures (human top half, columnar bottom) and Neoclassical statues from Robert Adam's demolished library. According to the Bedford Lemere daybook the image was taken for Lord Braybrooke, C C Neville, the owner of Audley End. The house was built 1605-1614 by John Thorpe and Bernard Janssen, for the Earl of Suffolk, Treasurer to James I and the Architect was probably a relative of Cornelius Jansen, portrait painter. In 1668 King Charles II bought the house as a base for attending Newmarket races but in 1701 it was returned to the Suffolk family by William III. During the 18th century, the house underwent several major alterations and much of the present house structure dates from after 1762 when a vast rebuilding and restoration programme was carried out, which included interior work by Robert Adam. The Jacobean style interior, as seen today, dates from a refurbishment carried out in the 1820s by the third Baron Braybrooke. In the Second World War, Audley End House was requisitioned for a number of military uses, primarily as Special Operations Executive "Station 43", for training Polish agents. In1948 it was sold to the Ministry of Works. It is currently in the stewardship of English Heritage and remains the family seat of the Lords Braybrooke. There is some slight fading to the print.
