Sudbury Hall from rear gardens Sudbury Hall is a country house in Sudbury, Derbyshire. It is regarded as one of the country's finest Restoration mansions but is based on a Jacobean design. It has Grade I listed status. The present house at Sudbury was built between 1660 and 1680 by George Vernon. He also built the estate village near the Hall to provide housing for his servants, labourers and tradesmen. The estate village buildings survive intact today. In 1967 the Hall, its contents and gardens were sold to the National Trust in part-payment of death duties. In 2020 the hall was rebranded as the Children’s Country House at Sudbury with some of the contents removed and the visitor experience remodelled for children. This change has raised controversy
