The lavish contents of an Elizabethan country house which featured one of the world's finest collection of samplers have sold for over £1million.<br />
<br />
Micheal Feller, a butcher by trade, and his wife Elizabeth had lived in the fittingly-named Upper Slaughter Manor in the Cotswolds countryside since 1985.<br />
<br />
They recently sold the manor as they are downsizing and parted with almost 1,000 items including rare embroideries, early English furniture, pottery and paintings.<br />
<br />
The two-day 'everything must go' sale, held by auctioneers Woolley & Wallis, of Salisbury, Wilts, included the Fellers' collection of over 300 samplers and needleworks.
