Sawston Hall, Tudor manor house in Sawston, England.

The manor features a Great Hall with Elizabethan wood paneling, large Tudor fireplaces from 1571, and extensive stained glass windows throughout the structure.

Mary Tudor found refuge at Sawston Hall in 1553 while fleeing from the Duke of Northumberland, leading to its partial destruction by fire during the pursuit.

The private chapel contains an ornate 18th-century plaster ceiling, while the first floor houses a long gallery and rooms connected to royal history.

The estate extends across 60 acres of protected grounds, incorporating specific areas designated for scientific interest due to rare plant species.

The hall contains one of the most sophisticated priest holes in England, constructed at the top of a spiral staircase during the religious tensions of the 16th century.
