Wall Paintings

16th Century Wall PaintingsA unique and magical Tudor wool merchant’s house, built in the Flemish style, Ellys Manor House is an architectural gem.

The main feature of the house is a fabulous scheme of early 16th century wall paintings in the upper rooms.

Described by architectural historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as, “a rare English interpretation of French verdure tapestries”. The wall paintings dated around 1500 are said to be “the most complete, extensive and important domestic decoration of this date in the country.”

A truly continental house, reflecting the Northern Renaissance. The building and paintings are of outstanding historical interest: Pevsner, The Buildings of England. An absolute ‘Must See!’

Open from Easter until 31st October daily from 10am to 5pm, Closed on Tuesdays.
As EMH is a private home, the house may, on occasions, have to close without prior notice due to other commitments. To avoid disappointment, please telephone first.
