Acton Court, Tudor manor house in Iron Acton, England.

The East Wing of Acton Court contains preserved Tudor royal state apartments with original decorative elements from the 16th century.

Nicholas Poyntz commissioned the construction of the East Wing in 1535 specifically for a visit by King Henry VIII and Queen Anne Boleyn.

The building showcases Tudor architectural design through its carefully restored rooms, illustrating the connection between nobility and monarchy in medieval England.

The manor house remains closed to public visits until 2025, with future tour dates and special events to be announced through their mailing list.

The rapid nine-month construction of the East Wing in 1535 demonstrates the urgency of preparing suitable accommodations for royal visits during Tudor times.
