Lypiatt Park, 1844. View of Lypiatt Park, a medieval and Tudor manor house in Bisley, near Stroud, in Gloucestershire. The property '...fell into the possession of the Throckmorton family, who occupied it in the eventful reign of James the First, and who figured so conspicuously in the Gunpowder Plot. The apartment still exists in which the Conspirators met to discuss their diabolical design. It is a small, wainscotted, square room on the ground floor, and may be noticed in the gable compartment on the right hand side of the principal front in our sketch'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
