Tudor Life

Kentwell Hall is home to the "Recreations of Tudor Domestic Life" which is held for two weeks in the summer and at holiday weekends. Volunteers wear Tudor costume and re-create life as it would have been at Kentwell Hall for the gentry, their visitors and servants. The great kitchen, dairy, bakery and forge are fully equipped in the original 16th century manner.

The House is approached by a magnificent avenue of lime trees and surrounded by extensive grounds. The gardens include clipped yews, a fine Herb Garden and Potager and a walled garden with a 17th century design. The attached farm is run organically and has rare breed farm animals housed in timber frame buildings.
