Sennowe Hall, English country house in Stibbard, England.
Sennowe Hall is an English country residence in Norfolk featuring a main building, clock tower, and stables arranged within landscaped gardens and parkland. The estate forms a cohesive complex where the house, outbuildings, and surrounding grounds work together as a unified whole.
The original hall was built in 1774 by Thomas Wodehouse after inheriting the estate in 1760 from his relative Mary Bacon. It underwent significant architectural changes in 1898 when a descendant commissioned extensive remodeling by a renowned architect of that period.
The house became a filming location for the television adaptation of Agatha Christie's detective stories, appearing in one of the episodes from the series. This connection to popular drama adds a layer of recognition for viewers familiar with the adaptation.
The listed gardens and parkland are protected by conservation rules that limit changes to the grounds and buildings. Before visiting, check which areas are open to the public as access may be restricted to certain sections of the estate.
A descendant of travel pioneer Thomas Cook commissioned the architectural redesign of the property in 1898. This connection to a notable figure in the history of tourism adds an unexpected dimension to understanding the house and its owners.
