View from the Saloon Upper Gallery at Althorp House, Northamptonshire, England, UK. Located beyond the Wootton Hall, it was converted from an inner courtyard and roofed in 1650 by Dorothy Spencer, Countess of Sunderland. It contains an imposing oak staircase, added in the 1660s. It is described as being &quot;surprisingly shallow and delightfully uneven – a physical manifestation of the long history of the house&quot;. » Spencer of Althorp
