Audley End House, English country house and heritage site in Saffron Walden, United Kingdom.
The mansion features 32 rooms with Jacobean ceilings, ornate furnishings, and extensive gardens designed by Capability Brown spanning across the Essex countryside.
Originally established as a Benedictine monastery in 1139, the estate transformed into a grand residence after Henry VIII dissolved the religious houses in 1538.
The Victorian Service Wing demonstrates the daily activities of household staff, complete with a working kitchen, laundry facilities, and servant quarters.
English Heritage manages the property, offering guided tours, educational programs, accessible pathways, a restaurant, and facilities for families with children.
During World War II, the mansion served as a training facility for Polish Special Operations Executive agents preparing for missions in occupied territories.
