The Orchard Hall.
Paved with Delabole green-grey slates. The frieze, the woodwork, and the ceiling are white. Below the picture rail the
walls are covered with Eltonbury silk-fibre paper of a purple tone; the carpet is a Donegal tuft in dead peacock blue:
the twill curtains are turkey red, and the Dutch tiles to the fireplace a delicate green.

With unpolished plain oak handrail; the carpet is grey-green, while the rest of the colouring is that of the Hall.

The Orchard Dining Room.
It is papered to the picture rail with plain green Eltonbury: the woodwork is white like the ceiling and frieze:
the carpet is blue and green, with red and yellow flowers, and the fireplace tiles and the serge table-cloth are
green-grey of varying tones. The furniture is of plain oak, simply oiled.
