Brodsworth Hall and Gardens Houses
Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson inherited the Brodsworth estate in 1859 and decided to commission a new mansion to replace the old 18th-century house. Designed in the Italianate style and decorated and furnished in the opulent fashion of the 1860s, it retains much of its original scheme to this day, making it one of England's most complete surviving Victorian country houses.
Inside the entrance hall, the marbled walls and scagliola columns form a prelude to the splendours of the inner halls and reception rooms beyond. Rich, decorative schemes are found throughout the house, with the halls forming an elegant setting for a succession of marble statues. The Drawing Room boasts a superbly painted ceiling, crimson silk damask wall coverings, chandeliers and gilt-framed mirrors. The Dining and Billiard Rooms are more masculine, with collections of paintings and silver, and furniture in rich mahogany.
A new trail and exhibition, employing photographs, objects and portraits, shows what life was like for women at Brodsworth, charting how their roles in the country house changed over time. 'Maids and Mistresses' goes in search of the elusive voices and experiences of women over the last 150 years. Other exhibitions at the Hall include: 'Serving the House', 'Discovering Chintz', 'Family Life' and 'The Gardens'. .
