Manuscript in a single hand with a room-by-room inventory of the contents of Castle Hill Lodge which was owned by Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent. The inventory was taken presumably shortly after his marriage, and the contents listed reflect the high Regency taste of the owner. The Duke had purchased the Lodge in 1801 from his sister-in-law Mrs. FitzHerbert and had spent thousands of pounds for improvements commissioned from James (?) Wyatt. In addition to the detailed listing of the Duke's private rooms and the formal rooms, the inventory includes servants' quarters, outhouses, barracks, and concludes with an inventory "of sundry articles not comprised in the foregoing inventory."
