I love all the wooden paneling! It’s really interesting to hear what Hackney was like all those years ago! I’ve never ventured over to Sutton house but should perhaps pay it a visor.
I loved Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies so I’d be really interested to see Sutton House. Thanks so much for sharing your visit at #citytripping
I have always read about linenfold panelling and never quite known what it was so thank you for the explanation – and great to see the photo as well. I loved Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, so I’m very tempted one day to hop on a train across London and check it out for myself. It’s somewhere I’ve seen on National Trust maps of properties but never knew much about it. #citytripping
Oh wow this place sounds really interesting and had actually never heard of it before despite being a big fan of National Trust properties. I must visit this when I can – thanks for sharing
The panelling is fun, but I think I’d be just as fascinated by the squat remnants. How fun they have kept it as a reminder than not every house in their stables has been passed down until the upkeep of a giant house required more money than mere landowning could support.
When I eventually visit England, this is the kind of thing I
want to see.

ooh me too. Those books are so atmospheric and I liked the screen adaptation too. Would love to see some of the real life locations in person.
