Motorists on the A22 will catch a glimpse of it through

ICKWORTH HOUSE
"One of my clients was the late Marquis of Bristol, and he commissioned two bathrooms: one Baroque and one Egyptian. In the Baroque bathroom , he wanted a little pool of water that you could stand in whilst being rained on by something resembling a golden rain cloud.
