Mahogany bureau reputed to have belonged to Nelson's father, Edmund Nelson. Four lockable drawers with drop handles. The top lets down to show a central section with a door and reeded pillars. The whole section removes and a brass plaque on the upper (normally hidden) surface is revealed inscribed: 'Rev. Edmund Nelson, The Parsonage House, Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk'. On either side there are a series of drawers and pigeon holes. There are secret drawers at the back of the removable central section.
