More about

This period house museum is often described as Bristol's 'hidden treasure' with its magnificent Tudor decor. The Great Oak Room retains its original plasterwork ceiling, oak panelling, internal porch and carved stone chimneypiece. The house was altered in the early 18th century and the remaining rooms are furnished in Stuart and Georgian styles. From its Tudor origins to its role as a Victorian girls' reform school there are many stories to be told. Don't miss the beautiful knot garden.
