A Victorian shipping merchant's legacy
Sudley House contains fabulous works by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Landseer and
Turner, all displayed amongst original Victorian décor. The house itself is
surrounded by pleasant gardens and parkland. A visit to Sudley House is a step
back in time to an oasis of calm and beauty.
At Sudley you can see the only Victorian merchant's art collection
still held in its original setting. Ship owner and merchant George
Holt bought the paintings during the late 19th century. His daughter
Emma bequeathed the house and its contents to the city in 1944.
