Agecroft Hall & Gardens
Agecroft Hall
A 15th-century Tudor manor dismantled in Lancashire, England, and shipped over whole, with gardens overlooking the James River.
Agecroft Hall was originally a 15th-century Tudor half-timbered manor in Lancashire, England. In the 1920s, a wealthy businessman had it taken apart into components, crated, and shipped to Richmond, where it was reassembled. The interiors are furnished in the Tudor and Stuart styles, with furniture, tapestries, and weapons. The gardens include an Elizabethan knot garden and an herb garden, and the lawns offer views over the James River. Outdoor Shakespeare performances are often staged here in summer. Admission is about $15 and includes a guided tour; closed on Mondays. Located in Windsor Farms, an upscale residential neighborhood in the West End.
