In the next instalment of our tour we present the Strang room, named after the second owners of the house, the Strang family.

It used to be three separate rooms: the kitchen, pantry and scullery and underneath lies a small cellar, now sealed and unaccessible.

This delightfully sunny room is also a popular room used today for conferences, workshops and the annual Caccia Birch House Bridal Fair as seen in the picture below
