Ickworth Hall, Nr Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

The building of Ickworth House started in 1795. Built as a rotunda, it was the brainchild of the famously eccentric 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, Frederick Hervey. It was home to the Hervey family for over 200 years before being gifted to The National Trust in 1956.
The house is surrounded by an Italianate garden whilst the grounds of 1800 acres were, in part, laid out by 'Capability' Brown.
One wing of the house in now leased by the National Trust to a hotel chain.
