A Return to Ickworth House, Horringer, Suffolk - 11th April 2021

It's been over eight months since we got the chance to visit Ickworth, so almost as soon as we're released from local lockdown we head over for a walk around and to find that the grand roofing project has been completed. We also explore the walled garden and the Earl's Summer House, which goes to show that you can go somewhere loads of times and still find something new.
