Tudor Great Hall in Northamptonshire

Sir Edmund Knightley commissioned the building of the Great Hall in 1537 in the traditional open hall style of the period. Its fine roof was removed in 1966 but reconstructed in 1988 using an engraving from 1816 and a few surviving beams. Today, guests can enjoy morning coffee, elevenses, lunches, afternoon tea and stronger options such as Champagne, evening cocktails and late-night digestifs in this magnificent room.

Just off from the Tudor Great Hall is our cosy conservatory which overlooks the Courtyard. Wooden beams, soft lighting and comfortable furniture make it the perfect place to settle in with a good book.

Afternoon tea served: 12.30 - 4.30pm
