Step back in time

Whether you want to explore the intricacies of the past or step back in time, Greys Court is the place for you. With Tudor architecture, fashionable 18th-century additions and a stylish vintage home, there is something for everyone.
A colourful past
Sewn into a Tudor mansion is a mid 20th-century interior, with an 18th-century tweak. All edged with a medieval parkland, Greys Court is a rich patchwork of styles and stories.
For kids
Families will be inspired to explore this wonderfully historic place. Find where the donkey worked to draw the water, climb the Great Tower to see the medieval walls or step through the door of a family home.
