Felbrigg Hall, 17th-century house museum in Felbrigg, England.
Description
Felbrigg Hall is a 17th-century house combining Jacobean style with later Georgian interiors, displaying furniture, paintings, and decorative arts across its rooms. The grounds spread across woodland, formal gardens, an 18th-century orangery, and open parkland for walking.
History
The house was built in 1675 and remained in the Wyndham family for over 300 years, with each generation altering its rooms. The family gave the property to the National Trust in 1969, which began its preservation and restoration work.
Culture
The collections displayed throughout the rooms tell the story of how the family lived and what they valued over centuries. The gardens around the property showcase heritage plants that have been grown there for generations, connecting visitors to the land's continuous use.
Practical
Visitors can walk through the rooms and explore the grounds at their own pace, with paths suitable for different walking abilities. Timing your visit to the opening season works well, as weather permits comfortable walks and all areas remain accessible.
