No, I haven’t been yet but I think it looks interesting too.
Coincidentally, I had just been looking up some photos of Shibden Hall online after Gentleman Jack finished broadcasting tonight, as I was telling a friend I would like to visit there later this Summer.
Not yet - but hope to later in the year.
I’ve been…its really worth visiting.
It creeks as you walk around and its very dark due to all the oak panelling and leaded windows. Its smaller than I thought it would be there are no grand rooms …its really worth a visit you can feel the history as you walk around…
Nice gardens too but its a shame the area its in doesn’t reflect the history of the place…Halifax isn’t particularly a pretty place although if you do visit the Piece Hall in the centre is worth a visit.
I love these old Jacobean houses .
