Summary
Oak side rail (from a bed) with a rebated edge with tacks running along the length of the rail where a canvas mattress support would once have been attached (now missing, though some fragments remain). At one end of the rail there is a rusted metal hinge and at the other end there is a central section cut out with a large hole next to it (this does not go all the way through the rail).
Provenance
Stamford collection; devised to the National Trust by Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford (1896-1976).
