The Simpson family have been conducting guided tours around their home since the 1960s. During that period the owners have displayed a variety of exhibitions including a period costume exhibition, militaria, natural history and ship models.
The minimum number of guests for a guided tour is 12, and we also require that bookings are made in advance. Prices from £6 per person, children under 16 £2, children under 5 free.
The newest addition to the tour these days includes the large archaeological dig. This has provided considerable interest, as we believe we have the remains of a Norman Castle inside the grounds. The discoveries on the mound have reshaped the tours that are conducted in the house as the finds tie in with the various occupants that have lived at Burton Court over the centuries.
The tour will be conducted by the owners and include all the main rooms on the ground floor; the 900 years of history of the Court; the gardens and the archaeological mound. In addition, we can arrange tea and coffee in the garden room and gardens during the summer months; cream scone teas in the Butler's Bar or more elaborate dining for larger numbers in the main reception rooms.
The tours are available all year round. We are situated in the heart of the Black and White Village Trail, a delightful local tourist attraction.
Please contact Edward Simpson for more details about a guided tour around the house and grounds.
