Period rooms displayed with a 1920's feel reflecting the donor family's period of occupation with layers of history then going back to Tudor and Stuart times before that.

The Hall is also showing items that once belonged to the Graham family - former owners. This collection includes Jacobite memorabilia including items once owned and worn by Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Casting New Light on Nunnington Hall
See Nunnington in a new light throughout May as we light up some of the darkest corners of the house and illuminate parts of the collection with coloured lights. Some of our collections and the fabric of the building are very fragile and sensitive to natural light which contains damaging UV rays. Therefore, often we have consciously kept fragile pieces in dark corners and manage the amount of light in our historic showrooms. However, a sparkling solution may be at hand!
