A La Ronde in Exmouth, Devon is a sixteen-sided house built for two spinster cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, on their return from a grand tour of Europe in the late 18th century. The interior contains many objects and mementoes of their travels including a feather frieze, gathered from native game birds and chickens, laboriously stuck down with isinglass and a shell-encrusted gallery, said to contain nearly 25,000 shells.
