Blickling Hall

This afternoon I am leaving Mum at home and making my way to Blickling Hall by myself.

The front of the Hall is very welcoming and the gardens in the front are very well manicured.  This house is where the Boleyn Family came from, as in Anne Boleyn the second wife of Henry the VIII.  The original house went into disrepair so the existing house isn't as it was back then.



The house is bigger than Felbrigg Hall, but is also a little more modern, the National Trust took ownership of it in 1940. Again the ceilings catch my eye, some of then looking very tudor.









Both the kitchen and the bathrooms seem to be modern for the age of the house.




The stair case is in the middle of the house and is very eye catching.



At the front of the house there are two buildings that run the edge of the courtyard at the entrance, one of them now is used as offices and the other is a shop, restaurant, and gallery.


After spending a few hours here it was time to go home, its getting close to peak hour and the traffic does get a bit much.
