Unfortunately the shutters must be closed when the Hall is not open to visitors for insurance purposes and to protect the items within, such as the Gainsborough paintings and intricate fabrics, which can be damaged by sunlight. When the Hall is open (26th May to 4th August in 2019), the shutters are opened, so we would recommend a visit during that time if you are keen to photograph the building with windows open.Unfortunately the shutters must be closed when the Hall is not open to visitors for insurance purposes and to protect the items within, such as the Gainsborough paintings and intricate fabrics, which can be damaged by sunlight.
