Plymouth - Saltram House

 
Saltram House (3mi/5km to the east of Plymouth) was begun by John Parker in 1750, its dining-room being designed by Robert Adam in 1768. The house is particularly notable for 14 paintings by Reynolds, who lived in Plympton for a number of years and worked in Devonport. The artist used to like staying at Saltram and painted portraits of the lord of the house and his family.

The portrait of the artist himself (1767) which hangs on the stairway is the work of Angelika Kaufmann. Also of interest are the works by Rubens, Stubbs, the American presidential painter Gilbert Stuart and the collections of porcelain and chinoiserie.
