Felbrigg Hall, 17th-century house museum in Felbrigg, England.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Above the main entrance, a Latin inscription reads 'GLORIA DEO IN EXCELSIS', revealing the builders' faith on the very facade. This message carved in stone at the house's threshold offers a window into what mattered to the family when they first constructed their home.
