This beautiful Elizabethan house is four hundred years old, and is still owned by the descendants of Sir Henry Griffith, who designed and built it. The Hall contains superb carvings and plaster work, as well as a fine alabaster and a large collection of English and French paintings. The Hall is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a maze and many rare and exotic plants, specially imported.
