The Holbein
Chamber was a room of conspicuous wealth built in two halves separated
by a pierced screen designed by Richard Bentley. The screen was
surmounted by a jester's, or Saracen's head and was bordered by
Catherine wheels and cross-crosslets. A monumental chimneypiece,
possibly Bentley's greatest achievement at Strawberry Hill dominated the
room.
