Save this place
A rare survival from the Commonwealth years, Thorpe Hall was built in the 1650s for Oliver St John, Cromwell’s Lord Chief Justice, by the architect Peter Mills. The house itself is now run as a Sue Ryder hospice, but the Victorian-era formal gardens around it — a rose garden, kitchen garden and woodland walk — are open to the public free of charge, every day during daylight hours, with a café and free parking on site. It’s a short walk from Peterborough Cathedral and the River Nene.
