Copped Hall, Essex

24 June 2010
Friends Only

Originally a hunting park dating from the twelfth century, Copped Hall is famed for hosting the first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1594. Our tour explores the present house built in 1753 by architects John Sanderson, Sir Roger Newdigate and Thomas Prowse. While various additions were made to the Hall over time, it was gutted by a fire in 1917 and it remained largely ignored until it was saved by the Copped Hall Trust in 1995. Alan Cox, architect for the Trust, leads our private tour and explains how the mansion and gardens are being painstakingly restored to their spectacular mid-eighteenth-century form.

1–7pm; £39 (includes coach, tea and refreshments)
