Is this magnificent red-brick mansion really Tudor? You bet it is! This is Sutton House, the oldest residential building in Hackney. Built in 1535 for Sir Ralph Sadler, it’s a rare survivor from Henry VIII’s era. Sutton House has seen it all. From its grand beginnings as ‘Bryck Place’, it’s been home to courtiers, merchants, even a girls’ school. Peek inside and discover the intricate linenfold panelling. This rare and beautiful feature was actually stolen in the 1980s when the house fell into disrepair. But, thanks to eagle-eyed experts at a salvage firm, it was returned to its rightful place. Today, Sutton House is in the care of the National Trust, a testament to its enduring legacy.
