Sudley displays fine 18th and 19th century paintings from Holt's collection, together with works from the Walker Art Gallery. George Holt started collecting paintings in the late 1860s, specialising in contemporary British art, but later acquired portraits by Gainsborough, Romney and Raeburn, and two superb late paintings by Turner. Visitors to Sudley House can enjoy great British paintings, including works by Landseer, Corot, and Reynolds, plus fine examples of furniture, surrounded by Victorian décor.
