During our recent visit to the East Riding of Yorkshire, we called in to Burton Agnes Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in the village of Burton Agnes, near Driffield. It was built by Sir Henry Griffith in 1601–10 There is an older Norman Manor House, originally built in 1173 on an adjacent site; both buildings are now Grade I listed buildings This is an old dog kennel The estate has been in the hands of the same family since Roger de Stuteville first built a manor house on the site in 1173. In 1457 Sir Walter Griffith came to live there. The Griffiths were a Welsh family who had emigrated to Staffordshire in the thirteenth century and inherited the Burton Agnes estate. In 1989 the property was left to a distant cousin, Simon Cunliffe-Lister, then aged twelve, grandson of Viscount Whitelaw and son of the 3rd Earl of Swinton. Today, the estate is owned by the Burton Agnes Preservation Trust and is managed by Cunliffe-Lister and his mother, Hon Susan Whitelaw. The gardens boast 3,000 plant species and include the National Collection of Campanulas The walled flower garden has a games motif with a central chess board played on black and white paving stones. Other games include draughts, snakes and ladders and hoop toss. Each of these games is in a separate garden surrounded by plants selected by flower colours The walled garden also had many, many butterflies This bird house is at the centre of the maze - I took several wrong turns before reaching the centre! We came across this pair on the Woodland walk.

CheshireSandstone quoins, mullioned windows and original 16th-century doors — period features don’t get much better than this. Burton Hall was built in 1568 for the wealthy landowner John Werden and underwent extensive restoration in 2007, including rewiring, a new central heating system with underf
A large Elizabethan country house with 18th and 19th century interiors, and a fine 18th century cabinet of curiosities. The hall, a Grade I listed building, is set in a park designed by Capability Brown with an area of 300 acres (1.2 km2). It is located south-east of the village Skirlaugh, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and has been the home of the Constable family for over 400 years. Despite its apparent uniformity of style, Burton Constable has a long and complicated building history. The lower part of the north tower, built from limestone, is the oldest part of the house to survive and dates to the 12th century, when a medieval pele tower served to protect the village of Burton Constable from the reign of King Stephen. In the late 15th century a new brick manor house was built at Burton Constable, eventually replacing Halsham as the family's principal seat. In the 1560s Sir John Constable embarked on the building of the Elizabethan prodigy house that stands today. This incorporated remains of the earlier manor house along with the addition of the new range containing a Great Hall, which rose the full height of the building and was top-lit by a lantern, along with a Parlour, Chambers and South Wing.
