Howick Arboretum: Part 1 of 2

Howick Hall is a Grade II listed building in Northumberland, extensively rebuilt after a fire in the 1920s.  It was the ancestral home of the Earls Grey, and home of Prime Minister Charles, 2nd Earl Grey, after whom the famous tea is named. All photo's in this series have been taken by Mooncat755. 
First stop are the tea rooms. 
They are elegantly furnished.
