Description
Sudley House is the former family home of the Holt family. George Holt founded the Liverpool shipping line Lamport and Holt and was a pioneer of trade with Brazil. The house, built in the early 1800s, is surrounded by pleasant gardens and parkland. Sudley House was bequeathed to the City of Liverpool by Holt's daughter Emma in 1944, together with the family's collection of paintings.

Collections description
Sudley displays fine 18th and 19th century paintings from Holt's collection, together with works from the Walker Art Gallery. George Holt started collecting paintings in the late 1860s, specialising in contemporary British art, but later acquired portraits by Gainsborough, Romney and Raeburn, and two superb late paintings by Turner. Visitors to Sudley House can enjoy great British paintings, including works by Landseer, Corot, and Reynolds, plus fine examples of furniture, surrounded by Victorian décor.
