the most imposing of spaces, as it must have been since its

construction in early Tudor times. The room is home to magnificent

works of art that date back to the early 14th century.

Tours of the main house including the great hall and other 6 rooms

that are also adorned with timeless art pieces offers an opportunity

Hall can be used as an event space and can take up to 100 guests
