Ickworth House
Ickworth House is a neoclassical country house in Suffolk built around a monumental central rotunda flanked by curved single‑storey wings and larger terminating pavilions. Designed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries for the Hervey family, it served as both a formal display house and family living quarters. The property stands in extensive parkland with formal lawns and ancient trees and by 1900 contained important paintings, Regency furniture and decorative collections.
