The Pennyman family's intimate 18th-century mansion
Are you interested in models and trains? The model railway layouts continue to fascinate visitors of all ages. The second annual model railway event will be arriving at Ormesby Hall very soon.
Home of the Pennyman family for nearly 400 years, this classic Georgian mansion is accompanied by the Victorian kitchen and laundry in the old service wing and outside there are attractive gardens and estate walks.
Experience the spirit of the intimate home of Colonel Jim Pennyman, the last of the Pennyman line, and his arts-loving wife Ruth, as well as the stylish legacy of the 18th-century character 'Wicked' Sir James Pennyman - so named because of his extravagant lifestyle and his gambling with the family fortune.
Ormesby Hall provides a unique venue for wedding ceremonies and functions.

Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
