This marvellous Tudor house created a big stir when it was built in the 1580s. Commissioned by Sir Francis Willoughby, Wollaton Hall was a “prodigy house” in a bold Elizabethan/Jacobean style, influencing English architecture for the decades that followed. The house is composed of Ancaster stone, limestone quarried in Lincolnshire, and its exterior...

The neo-Baroque Council House dates to 1929 and has a striking 61-metre dome abo...

You’ll s...
Built into the castle’s sandstone crag, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a pub believed to have been founded in 1189. This would make it the oldest public house in England, but unfortunately there’s no documentation to back up the claim. What can’t be denied is that the pub is exceptionally old and has a character all of its own for its passages and ca...
