The Great Drawing Room at Rothamsted Manor

The Great Drawing Room at Rothamsted Manor

This room was added to the Manor by Sir John Lawes in 1863 to provide a space for his son’s coming of age ball in 1864.

Featuring beautiful stained glass family crests in the windows, an impressive fireplace dating from the early 1900s and original portraits of the Wittenwronge family dating back to the 1500s, the Drawing Room is the largest space in the Manor, with a capacity for 120 for a conference, standing buffet or drinks reception and 76 for a sit down dinner, afternoon tea or wedding breakfast.
