The hearth on the ground level of King John's House, a medieval and Tudor manor thought by some to be a hunting lodge used by King John in the 13th century. The house and grounds were inherited in 1880 by the gentleman archeologist Lieutenant General Augustus Pitt-Rivers, who renovated and restored the home, and catalogued the contents, before converting the building into a museum. This image is from a pamphlet privately published 10 years after restoration of the building (more available here https://web.prm.ox.ac.uk/rpr/index.php/article-index/12-articles/182-king-johns-house.html).
