The Upper Corridor

Before proceeding to the upper landing you can take a break in the Reading Room, where you can relax and learn about the life of Beningbrough Hall, through the ages.

On the upper landing of the Great Staircase is a marquetry panel bearing the initials of the Elizabethan owner of Beningbrough, Sir Ralph Bourchier. It is one of the few surviving relics of the manor house that he built near the present house.
