Ah Sudbury Hall, yet another Pride and Prejudice film location, but not the only reason to visit. The interior of Sudbury Hall was used for the interior of Pemberley in the BBC's P&P. I did try to get Mike to walk down the hall way like Darcy did, holding his candle stick etc, but for some reason he just wasn't up for it, not sure why, I did show him the scene on my iPod but he just wouldn't give it a go.... oh well maybe next time.
The building dates back to the 1660's and the external brick work is very different to anything else I have seen in Derbyshire or the UK for that matter. Unfortunately we were not aloud to take any photos of the inside, the great hall has this amazing ceiling, the plaster work is so ornate. All in all it was a nice way to finish our day of stately homes off.
