This year we celebrate 100 years since our stunning Tudor house was rescued from dereliction and given to the National Trust. The ever-popular Companye of Merrie Folke will bring the year 1924 to life and tell the stories of the people who lived and worked at Paycocke's and saved it for the nation.
Free entry to the garden, tea-room and bookshop, normal admission fees for entry to the house.
