SUMMARY:The Vault is Open: Access Heritage Tours
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, Soulton Hall has been more than a home; it is a coded message in stone\, designed by Sir Rowland Hill during a time of great peril. \nOur walls hold defiance\, sanctuary\, and the dawn of the Elizabethan Golden Age. \nJoin us for an intimate tour\, typically led by a member of the family. Should they be unavailable\, the tour will be led by one of our expert historians\, guaranteeing an authoritative and insightful experience. \nYou will step beyond the usual view to discover the building’s deeply layered\, sometimes secret\, heritage. These tours are your chance to unravel the truth\, stand in the footsteps of history\, and explore a tangible connection to the Tudor and Elizabethan periods. \nShakespeare\, Sanctuary\, and the Golden Age\nSoulton Hall is a tangible connection to the Tudor Period and the Elizabethan Golden Age. Sir Rowland\, a pivotal figure on the Privy Councils of four monarchs\, defied oppression by transforming his home into a clandestine base for work on publishing the Geneva Bible and the settelement it was delivered in to. \nThe house’s unique history and artistic network inspired William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy\, As You Like It. This connection is fndamental\, linking Soulton to the Lodge family and Thomas Lodge\, the writer of the source book\, Rosalynde (1590) and the dance of harmony that concludes the play. \nWhat You Will Explore on the Tour \nYour journey into the past includes unique access to: \n\nThe Concealed Chapel fivate family Prayer Room and Priest’s Hide\nThe ‘As You Like It‘ Dancing Pavement and the Rowland Hill Furniture\nA deeper sense of the Renaissance Codes woven into the structure\nThe Chess Court and Wren Steps\n\nThe tour concludes with a traditional cup of tea and a slice of cake\, offering time to reflect on the secrets you have unveiled. \nBooking Details and Availability\nJoin a popular Historic Houses Association Heritage Access House Tour. These special tours typically take place on select Sundays throughout the year. \nBooking is essential as spaces are strictly limited to preserve the intimate nature of the exploration. \nFollow the link below to view dates and book via the HHA site: \nhttps://www.historichouses.org/house/soulton-hall/visit/
