Audley End House
(vero;2022-July-20)
Audley End House is a 17th century mansion built between 1605 and 1614 by Thomas Horward, 1st Earl of Suffolk and Lord Treasurer to James I. Unfortunately it is forbidden to take photos within the house (except for the servants' quarters) so we have no pictures from the inside; click here for a description from English Heritage and here to view a few examples of the art collection of the house (many portraits and some quite gloomy paintings). The one thing we enjoyed very much is the extensive taxidermy collection assembled by the 4th Baron Braybrooke, it is really worth seeing.
The gardens have been landscaped by the unavoidable Capability Brown who had his hands in many gardens we visited this year.
