Architecture and fireplaces show how royal hunting visits were staged.

A compact building built for spectacle as much as function.

Look for wear on stairs and thresholds—a centuries-old footfall map.

📍 Ground and first floors

Panoramic sightlines toward Epping Forest connect house to landscape.

Spot the ‘chase’ from a Tudor vantage.

Face each window; imagine signalling across the parkland before a hunt.

📍 Upper storey lookout

Hands-on props make 16th-century life tangible for kids.

Try on the past—literally.

Match an outfit to a role (courtier, servant) and ask staff about duties.

📍 Dressing-up rail, food & clothing displays

A rare surviving Tudor hunting lodge associated with royal visits to Epping Forest.

Free entry and a neighbouring visitor centre make it an easy add-on to a forest walk.

Interpretation explores food, clothing and hunting culture rather than only architecture.
