More about this scene

At this time restoration work was under way at Washington Old Hall, home of the ancestors of US president George Washington. Among the interesting pieces of furniture at the Hall is a 17th-century Flemish-style bed, complete with a gun cupboard at its foot. In September 1955 the Colours of the Washington Greys (New York National Guard) were laid up at the Hall.
