Stowe library reopens to visitors
The recently restored Large - or State - Library at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire is to reopen to visitors from Easter this year.
The refurbishment is part of an ongoing conservation project by the Stowe House Preservation Trust at the Grade I listed property, with funding provided by - among others - the World Monuments Fund, The Country Houses Foundation and a WMF Robert W. Wilson Challenge grant. The room was originally a ballroom when built in the 1740s, being stocked as a library - complete with 750 mahogany bookshelves and an imposing ceiling - during the 1790s.
