Looking through the quadrangle

 The chapel - I think it now used as a classroom (hence the TV screen)

  The exterior of the hall was used as Pemberley, the seat of Mr. Darcy, in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. (The figure of Mr Darcy was used to promote a TV Drama channel. It is being removed very soon!)

Stamford Military Hospital at Dunham Massey (Part 1)

 During the First World War 282 soldiers were treated at Stamford Military Hospital based at Dunham Massey in Cheshire. This year, to mark the centenary, the house has been transformed once more, complete with ward, recreation room and operating theatre. The stories of the soldiers, nurses and the family who lived here are recorded in the exhibition.

 The ward with 'real patients'!

Electric shock treatment!

(I think this patient has gone for a walk!)
