Withdrawing Room Project comes to an end

After being installed for a year at Croome Court, the Withdrawing Room has now been taken down. We’d like to thank all the staff, volunteers and visitors who contributed to the project (and the comments books!) since the project began and wish everyone at Croome the very best for the future. We look forward to seeing what happens next!
