Sudbury Hall is one of the most individual of late 17th-century houses, with rich interior decoration including woodcarving by Gibbons, superb plasterwork, and decorative painted murals and ceilings by Laguerre. The Great Staircase is one of the finest of its kind in an English house. Owing to low light levels, visitors wishing to study the Hall’s plasterwork or paintings in detail should avoid dull days and late afternoons towards end of season.
