Henry VIII gave Walden Abbey to Sir Thomas Audley, who transformed it into this grand country home. More than 30 lavishly decorated rooms are open to the public, displaying in their historic context the accumulated Howard Neville and Cornwallis collections. These include early Neoclassical furniture designed by Robert Adam, a late 18th-century state bed, important natural history and silver collections, and an outstanding series of British portraits from the 16th to the 19th century – including work by Holbein and Canaletto.
