Built in Lancashire, England, in the 15th century during the reign of King Henry VIII, Agecroft Hall was transported here in 1926. It's one of the finest Tudor manor houses in the United States. Set amid gardens planted with specimens typical of 1580–1640, the house contains an extensive assortment of Tudor and early Stuart art and furniture (1485–1660) as well as collector's items from England...

Most people I spoke with either didn't know about this or hadn't been there which is a real shame. The story about how a real Tudor mansion ended up in Richmond is great and the things that you learn on the tour were great fun. The house has been furnished with items from the 1400 - 1600's which is incredible...

Just saw 'Othello' at the Richmond Shakespeare Festival and LOVED IT. The setting, Agecroft Hall, was beautiful. If you live in Richmond, this is a wonderful way to spend an evening.
