The house, although not large, is luxuriously furnished, and a feeling of cosy, restful comfort pervades it.   From the windows there is a fine prospect of undulating lawn and meadow, with a miniature lake, fed from the Witham, which runs through the demesne.   Racing trophies in the form of massive silver cups and vases are noticeable in the drawing and dining rooms, being the outward and visible signs of successes upon the turf in the classic races of a former holder the title.   In the annals of war the family have borne a glorious part.   The prowess of the great Admiral Jervis, first Viscount St. Vincent, needs no recapitulation, his fame being world-wide.   But trophies from the Zulu War in 1879, comprising assuages, spears, shields, and a portion of Cetewayo's regal raiment were shown, and were brought back by the late Viscount St. Vincent, who, young as he was at the time of his death, only 34 years of age, had seen considerable service.   Side by side with the mementoes of the Zulu War were shields taken from the Afghans in the war of 1880, in which he served; as also in the Egyptian campaign of 1882.   Whilst an object of extreme interest is the curious green flag, with inscriptions from the Koran sewed on it, which the gallant officer captured from the Dervishes in the Sudan campaign.   He died of a wound received in Abu Klea, and thus ended what promised to be a brilliant career.   For he was in truth, "one of the ornaments of the Army, a good soldier, full of heart and courage, in him the Queen lost a devoted officer, and the aristocracy a fine example."   He was succeeded by his brother, the present Viscount, in 1885, who was the first owner to establish a residential connection with the estate since the Disney's sold the Lordship in 1674.
