Christchurch Mansion is a free to explore stunning 15th-Century Manor House in Christchurch Park, just a short walk from Ipswich town centre.
Explore the Tudor kitchen, the Georgian saloon and the Victorian wing as you wander the halls and corridors and are transported back to a time of the gentry and their servants.
Admire the fine collection of art from Suffolk artists including the biggest collection of Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable paintings outside of London!
Towards the back of the Mansion is the lavender-filled Wolsey Garden and the Wolsey Art Gallery, which hosts regular exhibitions of the Ipswich Museums’ expansive archive of art and artefacts; as well has hosting loaned objects from international collections.
And, Christchurch Mansion is thought to be haunted! Home to the mischievous spirit of a young servant whose life of service never ended…
