Belonging to this room is a closet, in which is deposited the Banner of France, annually delivered here on
the 2nd of August, by the Duke of Marlborough, successor to John, the great Duke of Marlborough, by which

and their allies, in a course of ten years most successful war.

On the ceiling, King Charles II is represented in the robes of the Garter, seated on a throne, under a canopy

He is also attended by Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, paying their obedience to him.
The tapestry represents a part of the story of Hero and Leander.
The bed in this room, which is of rich flowered velvet, was made in Spitalfields, London, and was origi-
nally set up in the Queen's Bedchamber, by order of Queen Ann; but was, in 1778, removed hither, and the ele-
gant bed before mentioned, set up where this was taken from. We have here, likewise, another of Mr. Vul-
liamy's clocks, decorated with masonic symbols, and other devices, in a very superb manner.
