Jeakes's products may be found in the kitchens of a number of large National Trust houses.
Lanhydrock was built in 1630-42 for the Robartes family who rose from merchants and bankers to the peerage as Barons of Truro and then Earls of Radnor. The house was partly destroyed by fire in 1881 and was rebuilt by Richard Coad, an ex-pupil of George Gilbert Scott. Almost all that survives of the 17th-century interiors is the 116-ft long gallery and its superb barrel-vaulted ceiling containing 24 main panels depicting incidents from the Old Testament. Meanwhile, Coad’s neo-Jacobean interiors are a splendid expression of late Victorian comfort and prosperity.

Grade ll listed.
Restored 1958.
One of the finest 17th-century houses in Norfolk, Felbrigg Hall was the home of the Windham family and its successors for 300 years. The house itself has a distinguished and varied pedigree. The Jacobean entrance front, built mainly in 1620, is attributed to Robert Lyminge (d1628). A west wing was added in 1674-86 to the designs of William Samwell (1628-1676), with interior plasterwork by Edward Goudge. In 1751-56 the Palladian architect James Paine (1717-1789) designed a service wing, Gothic library, staircase and several rooms, with interior decoration by Joseph Rose (1745-1799). In 1840, the great hall was remodelled in a neo-Jacobean style by John Chessell Buckler (1793-1884) and George Buckler (1811-1886).
