Audley End

A visit to Audley End - an Abbey converted to a manor house in 1538. When the conversion was completed, it became the largest home in England. In the early 1700's, some of the house was demolished due to the financial cost of upkeep and restoration.
It was truly a beautiful home with centuries of history oozing from its walls!


















This was an interesting adventure - a journey back in time. There were authentic rooms set up with actors role-playing the part of servants.


A very hands-on experience.

Danielle doing the dishes. A private joke in our family because she always figured out a way to avoid dishes and even did so in the Air Force in Basic training.





The beautiful grounds!
