Audley End House is an early 17th-century
country house just outside Saffron Walden, Essex. It is renowned
as one of the finest Jacobean houses in England. Audley End House was formerly
the site of a Benedictine monastery (Walden Abbey), granted to
the Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Audley in 1538 by Henry VIII.

Inn. This dwelling was later demolished by his grandson, Thomas
Howard (the first Earl of Suffolk and Lord Treasurer), and a
much grander mansion was built, primarily for entertaining King
James I. More... |
