Washington Old Hall

Washington Old Hall features stone walls, medieval architecture, traditional period rooms, and gardens maintained by the National Trust organization.

Built in 1183, this Grade I listed building represents the ancestral residence of George Washington's family before their departure to North America.

The manor preserves medieval English domestic life through exhibitions of furniture, textiles, and decorative items from different historical periods.

Guided tours operate daily from March through October, with special arrangements required for groups of more than twenty people.

Stone carvings throughout the manor display the Washington family coat of arms, which later influenced the United States presidential seal design.
