Burton Agnes Hall has been described as a “splendid and glittering composition”. The family stress it is a lived in family home! The original Norman Manor House was built by Roger de Stuteville in 1173. The Hall underwent development in 1457 under the ownership of Sir Walter Griffiths. The principles of Tudor Renaissance architecture are in clear evidence. (The architect was Robert Smythson, master mason to Queen Elizabeth 1st). There are extensive gardens including a walled garden with boarders, a jungle area, a Yew maze, and the woodland area has a peaceful arboretum walk. There is a cafe, shop selling food and souvenirs as well as plants. We will have a guided tour of the hall (lasting approximately 1 hour 15 mins). There will then be time for you to explore the gardens at your leisure.

The coach will leave Fountain Street car park at 9am and thereafter St.Paulinus, The Avenue. Return will be approximately 3.30/4pm. For queries please contact excursion coordinator Pauline Warrington 07855 751869. Booking will commence at July meeting.
