Painted Ladies

continuo logoSupported by a grant from Continuo Foundation

In the eighteenth century the music room, with its views onto the rose bushes and dairy beyond, was where the lady of the house would entertain her guests. It is now peopled by beauties and celebrities such as Kitty Fisher, Mrs Jordan, Emma Hart and Mrs Musters.

Kitty Fisher had a popular tune named after her; Mrs Jordan wrote her own. Saraband weaves together the music and stories inspired by the house and these paintings.
