Arriving
at Sudbury, the rain showed no signs of easing off, so we had a look around
inside the house first. The long gallery (pictured below), which is 51m long, features
stunning plasterwork and was one of my favourite rooms in the hall. Sudbury
Hall is a grade I listed building in Sudbury, Derbyshire. It was built between
1660 and 1680. The National Museum of Childhood is housed in the 19th-century servants’ wing.
Finally, the rain stopped and we could wander round the grounds, which include a 17th-century fountain.
