I visited Copped Hall near Epping a couple of weeks ago.

I loved it.

Part of its fascination is that you don’t often get to see inside a grand house that’s in the process of being restored. Those parts are usually hidden away.

Not at Copped Hall.

Wherever possible they seem to have decided that the rooms should be on view so that visitors can see the progress.

This makes for such a different experience and also makes you realise the tremendous work involved in restoring a period property that has fallen into disrepair.

As I’ve already said here I’d highly recommend it.
