Sudbury Hall

This is Sudbury Hall in South Derbyshire. It is now owned by the National Trust and is open during the summer months. Part of the building is also the Museum of Childhood.
The former stables now the giftshop/retaurant/toilets

There is not much in terms of gardens left except a few hedges and trees and an area of lawn leading down to the lake.However it is free to enter and look around although there is a charge to enter the museum or hall.
Sudbury church is next door although it was not open to the public when I went.
