Copford Hall

Copford Hall is a manorial seat and Grade II listed[1] country house, with gardens by Capability Brown, in the village of Copford, Essex, England, 46 miles (74 km) from London.

[2] The building was at one time owned by the bishops of London, and its grounds are described in Pevsner as "almost the beau idéal of what to the foreigner is an English landscape scene".

[3] The present house is a large, square red-brick building with stone dressing and ornamentation, the façade the result of alterations in the early 1800s.

[4] However, the majority of the structure dates back to 1720, and parts of the inside to the early 1600s.

The extensive grounds include canals, fishponds and water features.
