House & Family History: The coved Music Room (see "Images" section), noted for its festooned plasterwork, was added to the house in the 18th century as part of major remodeling work. The house's exceptionally fine late 17th century grand staircase (see "Images") was reinstalled at Hinchingbrooke House after the demolition of Rolls Park in the 1950s. In his 1841 novel, "Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty," Charles Dickens based The Warren on Rolls Park. The Harveys of Rolls Park were related to William Harvey, who discovered the circulation of blood.
