Apethorpe Hall tours

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to join English Heritage for a tour of Apethorpe Hall, an exceptional grade I listed property set in a picturesque corner of Northamptonshire.

One of the finest Jacobean houses in the country, Apethorpe Hall is steeped in history and it has played host to Queen Elizabeth I, King James I and King Charles I. It boasts a remarkable suite of State Apartments originally created for Queen Elizabeth and remodelled for James I’s “more commodious entertainment…and princely recreation.” These rooms are among the best surviving examples of early 17th century Court taste and they provide a fascinating window on a rich period of English history.

Visitors with an interest in history or architecture will find this a very exciting and enjoyable insight into our past and into the lives of the people who helped to shape it.
