Folly Mill ESSEX

This charming collection of traditional English and Continental furniture, paintings and decorative arts from the 17th to 19th centuries have been beautifully presented alongside an exciting array of modern art in situ at the Grade II-listed manor house, creating a stimulating blend of traditional and modern.

Situated in a 222-acre estate in Thaxted, North Essex, Folly Mill dates back to the late 16th century and extends to over 4,200 sq ft. After being purchased by the Renton family in 1938, the property has been most famously used over the past 80 years as a party venue and a base for country pursuits.
