Burton Constable Hall One of East Yorkshire’s great historic treasures. A magnificent Elizabethan mansion with 30+ rooms and sweeping Capability Brown parkland. Plan your visit today!
(717)

Nestled in the serene East Riding Countryside, Burton Constable Hall and our expansive parkland offer an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of our history and heritage. At the heart of the experience in Burton Constable Hall itself, is the Cabinet of Curiosities, an early “museum” showcasing rare and fascinating artifacts collected by William Constable during the Enlightenment. Explore the preserved stables, including the Stable Boys’ bedroom, for a glimpse into the estate life, and marvel at the skeleton of a whale that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Stroll through our Capability Brown-designed parkland, with walking trails that meander through ancient grounds, past serene lakes, and open grasslands where wildlife flourishes. Relax at the Stables Kitchen for homemade treats or browse the gift shop for a souvenir that supports our charitable aims and ongoing preservation of Burton Constable Hall and Parkland. Burton Constable is a place that ignites curiosity, celebrates our history and heritage, offering something for everyone.

Our Curator, Sarah, recently shared this remarkable 1830s writing case belonging to Colonel Sir Charles Chichester. Inside, it holds a personal collection of items that tell the story of an eventful military life, including his whistle inscribed 'C.C.', letters, newspaper clippings, a button from his time in the 60th and 81st regiments, and even locks of hair from his children.

Colonel Sir Charles Chichester served as Lieutenant Colonel of the 81st Regiment and Brigadier General in the British Auxiliary Legion in Spain. He commanded at the capture of Irun in 1837 before passing away in Toronto in 1847.

It is wonderful to take a closer look at these preserved personal pieces cared for by the Burton Constable Foundation.

From the extreme heat earlier this year to the recent wet weather, the changing conditions have revealed the foundations of a former water feature on our South Lawn.

If you look closely at the lawn, you can make out its outline, which can also be seen in this old photograph. It's believed that the feature was accidentally hit by a van, which may explain why it's no longer there!

👀 And it's not just the water feature that's changed over the years! A closer look at this historic photograph reveals a few other differences too.
