SUNDAY 6th September, 2009 BATEMANS
The interior of this beautiful 17th-century house, Rudyard Kipling's
home from 1902 to 1936, reflects the author's strong associations with
the East. There are many oriental rugs and artifacts, and most of the
rooms – including his book-lined study – are much as Kipling left them.
The delightful grounds run down to the small River Dudwell with its
watermill, and contain roses, wild flowers, fruit and herbs. Kipling's
Rolls-Royce is also on display.
