Overview
This fine Elizabethan mansion features some of the earliest external Renaissance architectural detail in the country. The house was built for Sir Thomas Smith, Elizabeth's ambassador to France. He died here in 1577. Hill Hall has now been divided into private houses, but parts remain open to the public by prior arrangement.
