| Description |
THE GILT ROOM, HOLLAND HOUSE. The past of Holland House is rich in historical associations. Built by John Thorpe in 1607 for Sir Walter Cope, it passed next into the hands of his son-in-law, the first Earl of Holland, who was executed for treason, and who, tradition says, has haunted this "Gilt Room" ever since, issuing forth "at midnight from behind a secret door," and walking " slowly through tbe scene of former triumphs, with his head in his hand." On his death the mansion was transferred to General Fairfax, and Cromwell and Ireton came hither for their deliberations. After the Restoration it reverted to Lady Holland. The Holland peerage became extinct on tbe death of the third Earl, whose widow Addison married in 1716; but in 1762 it was revived, Henry Fox, father of Charles James Fox. being created Baron Holland. Under the third baron. Holland House became famous as a rendezvous of Whig politicians and literary celebrities. It belongs now to Lord Ilchester. |
