Visited the house as part of a WI trip. Diana was very welcoming, even picking up 3 of our ladies who had mobility problems to take them to the house, as direct access by car or coach is not possible. She is a superb hostess, who told us of the history of this house, which is about 950 years old - older than the Magna Carta! An informative tour of the house and the chance to view some amazing quilts made by Lucy Boston, author of many children's books. The house has Norman, Tudor and Georgian features and we had the opportunity to sit and listen to the very 78 record that was played to RAF men during WW2 and in the same room. The gardens are beautiful and set right next to the beautiful Great Ouse. What a wonderful way to spend a few hours - highly recommended!

Free admission. Located in the heart of Huntingdon. A small but fascinating museum. The curator, who is often on site, has lots of fascinating anecdotes to add to the experience.
