New discovery! 🕵️♂️
The scaffolding’s down and our conservator Mark has started work on the lower East wall of the Mermaid Passage — and he’s uncovered a face!
Worn with time, but just visible in side profile. Harvington really is the house that keeps on giving 😊

🖌️ Conservation is underway in the Mermaid Passage, thanks to a grant from Historic Houses Foundation Our conservator is revealing stunning details—like a mermaid with a sword & a charging man—by removing old wax. The difference in colour is incredible! 🧜♀️

The gardens are full of colour, the Hall is glowing in the evening light, and there’s a calm stillness in the air.

At 5.45am the large chapel was gently lit by the warm embrace of the rising sun ☀️ Shadows of the Elizabethan mullion windows stretch across the south wall 😍

Today we spotted Helen, Susan Calman’s iconic camper, parked proudly outside the Hall — and that can only mean one thing!
A brilliant morning of filming, sharing some of Harvington’s best kept secrets. We can’t wait for you to see it! 😊🎥

Once filled with the clatter of pots, the warmth of the fire, and busy hands preparing grand feasts, the Elizabethan kitchen was the heart of the Hall. Today, as evening falls and visitors depart, a quiet stillness takes its place. A moment to reflect on the lives once lived at the Hall 😊🔥

8 years ago today, a much younger Hall Manager emerged after 24 hours locked in the priest hide under the stairs. Many of you will remember that in 2021, he upped the challenge to 36 hours in another. ‘Never again,’ he said… but history has a funny way of repeating itself. Stay tuned! 👀

Hall Manager Phil had quite the surprise while giving a talk on Priest Hides for a history society, spotting none other than Robert Plant in the audience! As a huge Led Zeppelin fan, seeing the local legend in person was an unforgettable moment 😊
