The name is a joke on the part of Schomberg Scott and alludes to the frequent complaint, before remodelling this part of the house, that it was impossible to find your way through the maze of Victorian additions. The hardwood floor is inlaid with a marquetry compass. The octagonal space is lined with glazed china cupboards containing more of the Derby service as well as Sevres biscuit and coloured porcelain figures from the Derby, Hochst, Meissen and other eighteenth century factories.
