Am starting to explore Richmond a bit more. Today, went and did a tour of Agecroft Hall. This is a 15th century English Tudor home which was moved to Richmond from England in the 1900s. The home in England was in danger of being demolished. They only moved a part of it but it's still huge. They took it apart piece by piece, numbering each piece for assembly in the US. The home was put together with 19th century modern features (like working bathrooms). The woodwork inside the home is original and gorgeous.

The tour guide was very good. Was an hour long tour of the interior. No photos allowed inside. They have a very good collection of furniture from the 14th-16th centuries. According to the guide, they also rotate exhibits. The gardens are supposed to be wonderful but were covered in snow when I was there. Will need to go back in the Spring to check those out.

As someone who enjoys the Tudor style, this was a great find in Richmond!
