A great little place to visit in Sulgrave. Once the home George Washington"s family. If you are interested there is also the remains of a castle in the village.
A nice place to familiarize yourself with the history of the Washington family and their background. Lovingly furnished house and museum, also educationally valuable for children. Fantastic friendly and helpful staff who are happy to provide information about the house and its exhibits if you have any questions. Reasonable price-performance ratio. Thank you.
An interesting story by the guide, a beautiful manor house, a great history lesson about the Tudors, Washington, but also about the situation of society and trips overseas, a lesson about the first president of the USA. Nice shop
Small but very interesting. Guides friendly and knowledgeable.
Lovely Manor House, owned by the Washington family,although George never visited on the day I went there, they were celebrating independence day with events for children & American food. Don't know what it would be like without an event, but the guides were very informative, Don't know if I would go again, but it was a nice day out
Not as busy as we anticipated, the ancestral home of the family of George Washington (the first president of the United States of America) offered insights into his family and upbringing leading him taking one of the most famous roles in the world. The house felt fresh and well cared for, the grounds were very neat and tidy. There are hot drinks and cakes/ices available from the entry shop, and lots of space to picnic. There was a an outdoor area for the children with stepping logs, make your own den, mud kitchen etc. The craft room was also open where kids can design a shield, make a 3D portrait or investigate historical photos, plus an art themed trail around the grounds kept them well entetained. For the adults, the current exhibition on George Washington was both interactive and informative with some wonderful artefacts. The Manor is about 10mins from the M40 Banbury junction, and would make a great stop off on a longer journey.
