The Queen's Visit to Birmingham - Her Majesty's Bedroom, Stoneleigh Abbey, 1858. 'Her Majesty honoured Lord Leigh by sleeping at his family mansion, Stoneleigh Abbey, on her way to Birmingham to open Aston Park, and also on her return thence the following day. The rooms set apart for her Majesty at the Abbey, comprising the whole of the first floor, were entirely redecorated and newly furnished for the Royal visit...The decorations and furniture of the other apartments appropriated to the use of her Majesty and suite displayed the same exquisite taste. Messrs. Moxon, of London and Edinburgh, had the entire management of the decorations. The carpets of the rooms of her Majesty and the Prince Consort were manufactured by Messrs. Lapworth and Co., of Bond-street and Wilton, from designs specially drawn for the occasion, of the richest velvet and Brussels fabrics'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
