Harvington Hall

Harvington Hall is a moated medieval manor house, which contains some of the best series of priest's hiding places anywhere in the country and many original Elizabethan wall paintings. The priest hides were built at the end of the 16th century, when it was high treason to be a Catholic priest. There are a number to investigate at the hall, including the ingenious priest hide in Dr Dodd's Library, which is behind a swinging beam that would have once been disguised behind paneling or bookshelves.

The Malt House, which still has a number of original features including the 18th century malting kiln, is now a Visitor Centre with a number of displays, such as an audiovisual display, which brings the drying floor and old kiln to life, a display describing life on the estate, and fun interactive games that tell the story of the Hall's 700 year history.
