    One of the most beautiful estates we have visited

    The grounds are beautiful. The story of the home being moved from England was very interesting and adds to the story of the house and the family who lived there. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Mesmerizing

    This piece of Elizabethan history is gorgeous! I've taken students many times when we're reading Shakespeare. It's like stepping back in time, in England (because that's what it is!). Tours are well-done. Spring is particularly beautiful during tulip season.More

    Interesting history

    This Tudor house was shipped over from England some years ago and rebuilt as original. It stands in lovely grounds several miles away from Richmond centre. Well worth visit
