English Heritage
Description
Explore the changing fortunes of a wealthy Victorian family in this once opulent Yorkshire country home. Discover 150 years of family life documented at Brodsworth Hall: from silk and chandeliers, to the austerity of life during WWII.
Take a walk around the labyrinthine ‘grand gardens in miniature’, now restored to their Victorian heyday. Follow an investigative trail for all ages in the Work & Play exhibition, dramatising the lives of Brodsworth’s family, servants and tenants. There’s also plenty to explore in the enchanting gardens, from the classical summerhouse to the Rose Dell with hundreds of rose varieties.
