For many years it was the London residence of Sir William Bass, who took it in its mid-Victorian condition, and never permited alterations to be effected For this reason the curious fire places remain-immense grates with iron bars front of them which were required as a protection when erinolines were in fashion in the days of our grandmothers. Curi. ously enough, the Duchess of York fell in love with the quaint old fireplaces, looking like braziers, and they are to remain; but otherwise the mansion will be vastly im proved.
