The Drawing Room The splendid Drawing Room provides a relaxed and informal venue lit by candles in a magnificent candelabra. Plush Knole sofas add to the informal atmosphere. The ceremony is especially lovely when in the bay window or the oriel window overlooking the gardens where up to 50 guests may be accommodated. The Tudor Hall The awe inspiring Tudor Hall is more formal or traditional. A large room that looks especially romantic by the glow of candle light, it has stone walls with impressive displays of weaponry and tapestries. The large bay window is perfect for marriage ceremonies with guests seated in traditional aisles. Smaller numbers are ideally seated in an arc in front of the fireplace where the ceremony can also take place. The Tudor Hall is especially appropriate for winter weddings and can accommodate up to 50 guests. The Library The Library is quite simply a lovely room, a smaller version of the drawing room. It is particularly suited to intimate wedding ceremonies for close family, taking place in the large oriel window, and can accommodate up to 15 guests. The Summer House The Summer House is a tiny but delightful venue set in the oldest Tudor garden in England. The ceremony takes place inside but the guests remain in the open air.
