Avebury Manor and Garden, Tudor manor house and historical gardens in Avebury, England
Avebury Manor is a 1555 country house that combines Tudor, Georgian, and Victorian design elements throughout its rooms. The interior displays furnishings and decorations from different centuries, representing five periods of English home life.
The structure was built in 1555 after a medieval priory from a Norman monastery previously occupied the site. Later modifications and renovations reflect the architectural styles and living standards of various periods.
Each room reflects how people lived in different eras, from clothing to furnishings and daily routines. Walking through, you witness the shift in tastes and ways of living across English homes.
Access to the house is through guided tours that provide insights into the rooms and their history. A tea room in an adjacent building offers a place to rest during your visit.
Visitors are permitted to touch objects, sit on furniture, and even lie in the beds for a hands-on experience. This unusual approach sets it apart from traditional museums devoted to historic houses.
