Built by Sir John Knyvett, Lord Chancellor to Edward III, Southwick Hall dates from the 14th century. The manor encompasses two medieval towers, an Elizabethan hall, Georgian additions, as well as a Victorian wing and stable block – each style living in perfect ease with the next through the use of the local Collyweston stone, and illustrating under the same roof how the English manor house has evolved over 700 years.

As a family manor house with Tudor rebuilding and Georgian and Victorian additions, there are exhibitions on Victorian and Edwardian life, with collections of agricultural and carpentry tools and local archaeological finds. Southwick Hall comprises architecture of many centuries, notably the 14th, 16th, 18th and 19th Centuries. Private guided tours available.
