The disastrous fire at Lulworth Castle on the 29th August 1929 reduced the lavish interior to a burnt out shell.

The Main Hall at Lulworth Castle was previously an elegant drawing room with persian carpets, oil paintings and an ornate ceiling.

The floors and ceilings were completely destroyed, the doorways and fire places on the upper floors being left stranded half way up the walls.
