Explore the fascinating world of the Victorian judges at this award-winning historic house.

As accommodation fit for a Judge, it has lovely rooms for them to stay in. There are service areas for both permanent and visiting servants (the Judge would travel with some of his own, such as his valet who helped him get dressed). It's a bit like a stately home in miniature, except it has a rather unusual addition - not many homes have a vast courtroom, with cells below for prisoners.
