Visitors can support the Manor house by volunteering, booking tickets online for guaranteed entry, and using the new digital guide to gain a deeper appreciation for the art collection and history of the house.
This Manor house provides the perfect setting for elegant wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, and private parties. Marquees can be booked in the grounds for private events, and the Music Room is available for corporate functions.
The Manor house has a rich history, passing through many owners before being transformed and expanded by various individuals. It has housed wealthy tenants, displayed a collection of paintings, and even served as a retreat for a noble family.
After being used for various purposes, the Manor house was taken over by English Heritage, who carried out repairs and conservation work partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. It was reopened to the public in 2013, following the Iveagh Bequest Act which required it to be freely accessible.
