Palace of begum samru converted in a School. The palace was begun after the church had been completed, and was only finished in 1835. The Begum lived only one year in her new residence. Within you may see, with the permission of the management, the Begum's bathing rooms, all in marble, inlaid with pietra dura, and beautifully designed walls still in their original colour. Most of the mirrors in these rooms have been broken and pieces removed. This is the result of a strange and unfounded sort of tradition, handed down among the simpler people, that persons with goitre can be cured by looking at themselves in these mirrors. When the Begum died, her state was taken over by the British authorities, but her personal property was not touched. The palace with its 74 acres was inherited by her adopted son. When he left for England, it was left in the hands of an agent. In 1897 it was sold at a public auction by the agent of Lady Forester, the widow of Dyce Sombre. Many are under the wrong impression that the palace was left to the Catholic Mission by the Begum. Actually it was bought by the Archbishop of Agra for Rs. 25,000. Before the building was sold, the twenty-five oil paintings that adorned the Throne Room were removed. Most of them were bought by the local government to adorn the palace of the Governor of Uttar Pradesh, formerly in Allahabad and now in Lucknow. Among the paintings that were removed, were portraits of the Begum, General Sir David Octherlony, David Dyce Sombre, Baron Solaroli and Captain John Troup, husbands of David's two sisters, and Major Reghelini. There was also a portrait of Pope Gregory XVI in engraving. But today in the Governor's Palace are only two paintings, one large one of the Begum in the Audience Hall, and another large one in the Billiard Room depicting the Begum presenting a chalice to Archbishop Pezzoni on the occasion of the dedication of the church.
