Overview

Originally built in the Elizabethan era, Burton Agnes Hall boasts 400 years of familial history. Lived in by the family's descendants, this beautiful hall is a museum by accident rather than design. Each generation has added objects particular to their time. These artefacts include, amongst other things, paintings from modern times and the Impressionist period, tapestries, carvings and embroidery. The garden is a delight and has recently been redeveloped as a 'New Elizabethan Garden' offering an insight into the horticultural practices of times past. There is also a maze and innumerable plants and flowers as well as a jungle garden. A gift shop and cafe can also be found on the premises.
