History comes alive at St. Mary's House! Our tours begin in the early Norman period, and as we move from room to room, we see the many changes that have taken place in St Mary's during its history, and the events that have influenced those changes. By the end of the tour, visitors have travelled through 500 years of history. St Mary's is especially suitable for school parties, due to the ancient atmosphere of the house, yet at the same time it is still a lived in home, rather than a 'museum piece'.
April - Sept: 9 - 5am. Groups size: 15 - 45.
