The Parlour
With a window onto the Market Place, the Parlour was the social hub of the house. A place to entertain guests, enjoy a peaceful evening in or work on a new poem for publication.
‘We were sitting yesterday after dinner, the two ladies and myself, very composedly, and without the least apprehension of any such intrusion in our snug parlour, one lady knitting, the other netting, and the gentleman winding worsted’.
