The Kitchens
Bringing Heritage Home
Inspired by the architecture and surroundings of eight historic properties, the National Trust Kitchen Collection captures elegant proportions, heritage colours and timeless detailing.
Every hand-finished kitchen is crafted by Symphony, a proud British manufacturer of exceptional quality kitchens. Quality is matched by a commitment to sustainability – from responsibly sourced wood to the highest ethical standards.
Each hand-finished kitchen carries the Oak Leaf mark: a symbol of authenticity and a tribute to the National Trust’s legacy of protecting our heritage for generations to come.

The National Trust Kitchen Collection – beautifully made, sustainably crafted, and designed to be cherished.
Kitchen Garden
The Blicking
Sitting at the heart of a magnificent garden and historic park, Blickling Hall is a striking Jacobean mansion surrounded by ancient yew hedges.
Believed to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, the hall has seen many changes over its lifetime – from Tudor grandeur to William Schomberg-Kerr’s redecorating work in the 1850s.
Its red-brick façade, elaborate gables and ornamental chimneys showcase Jacobean craftsmanship, while the Long Gallery holds one of the most important book collections in the Trust’s care.
For four centuries, the walled garden supplied produce to the estate kitchens. In the 20th century, the gardens embraced no-dig methods to meet the challenges of a changing climate. Today, it remains a sustainable and much-loved part of the visitor experience.
The Dysart
Ham House, the inspiration behind The Dysart kitchen, was built in 1610 and leased by King Charles I to William Murray. In 1643 Murray was created 1st Earl of Dysart, the title that would remain associated with Ham House for generations.
Set on the banks of the Thames in Richmond, the house is one of the grandest Stuart houses in England, framed by restored 17th-century gardens. These include the maze-like Wilderness, elegant box-hedge parterres, and one of London’s finest walled kitchen gardens, cultivated to reflect the produce of the Stuart era.
Faithfully nurtured using organic values, the kitchen garden’s deep rectangular plots and borders are full of flowers and seasonal produce.
Arts & Crafts
The Standen
In an idyllic location with views across the Sussex countryside, Standen House was designed to look as though it has always existed, almost as if it had grown out of the rockface.
Believed to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, the hall has seen many changes over its lifetime – from Tudor grandeur to William Schomberg-Kerr’s redecorating work in the 1850s.
Designed by Philip Webb and completed in 1894, Standen is one of the finest examples of Arts & Crafts workmanship. It was constructed using the best local materials and traditional methods, in line with the ideals of Arts & Crafts, with the house and garden designed as one. The Morris & Co. interiors create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Standen’s kitchen was modern for the time, designed to be large and airy with the ease and comfort of the servants in mind. Today the house is presented as a family home, offering visitors a glimpse of early twentieth century life in an artistic household.
The Coleton
Coleton Fishacre in Kingswear, Devon, is an evocative 1920s country retreat built in the Arts & Crafts style. The country home of the D’Oyly family, it was designed by architect Oswald Milne.
The interior is imbued with Art Deco elegance and offers a rich experience of 1920s domestic life. It allows visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the period by wandering through the minimalist yet cosy rooms to see how a wealthy family such as the D’Oyly Cartes and their
servants would have lived.
Outside, the paths weave through glades and past tranquil ponds in the Grade II* registered garden, taking advantage of the local mild climate to grow unusual and sub-tropical plants.
Country House
The Leconfield
Petworth House, the inspiration behind The Leconfield, was rebuilt between 1688 and 1702 for the 6th Duke and Duchess of Somerset in the style of the great palaces of Europe.
The home’s grand state rooms, with murals by Louis Laguerre and intricate carvings by Grinling Gibbons, showcased the family’s wealth and royal ties. The servants’ quarters reveal the scale of country house life, with kitchens that served up to 30,000 guests in a year.
Set within a 700-acre deer park, the landscape is one of Capability Brown’s finest works and frames a world-class art collection, including masterpieces by Turner, Van Dyck, Reynolds and Gainsborough. In 1947 Charles Wyndham, the 3rd Baron Leconfield, gifted Petworth House and its deer park to the National Trust.
The Attingham
An imposing Georgian mansion, Attingham Hall in Shrewsbury was built to impress. Commissioned in 1782 for Noel Hill, 1st Lord Berwick, it was owned by one family for more than 160 years.
The building is a fascinating story of the ups and downs of the family and their fluctuating fortunes. The house and its 200 acres of beautiful grounds inspire a sense of awe. The vast mansion looks striking against a backdrop of cedars and parkland, epitomising classical design and Italian influence.
Outside, the paths weave through glades and Thomas, 2nd Lord Berwick, was keen to make a good impression when he entertained guests and employed the best chefs for his kitchens at Attingham.
The Georgian kitchen garden was originally created in the 1780s. Today it is a productive and beautiful space, growing fruit, vegetables and flowers throughout the year.
The Uppark
The tranquil 17th-century Uppark House, set within intimate gardens and woodland in Petersfield, West Sussex, holds a complex historical history behind its elegant façade.
Ford Grey, the Earl of Tankerville, was a colourful character and he built Uppark in 1690 to demonstrate his wealth and his political allegiances. The ownership of Uppark moved to the Featherstonhaugh family in 1747, and each generation made their mark on the architectural remodelling of the house.
From intricate patterns and striking Gothic fittings to exquisite marble and stained-glass windows, the building and its contents have been thoughtfully restored since it passed to the National Trust in 1954. Following the discovery of an inventory from 1874, the interior of Uppark today is a journey back to life in the late 19th century.
The Erddig
Set in a haven of peace and natural beauty, above the winding River Clywedog near Wrexham, Erddig Hall offers a fascinating insight into a notable family’s relationship with its servants.
Dating back to the late 17th century, the imposing stately home was saved from dereliction in the 1970s and has been thoughtfully restored to its former glory.
A large collection of servants’ portraits, poems and furniture captures their lives downstairs – including original kitchen tools, utensils and furnishings – while upstairs houses original fine furniture, textiles and wallpapers.
Erddig Hall is a treasure trove of objects, from the magnificent and unique to the everyday and ordinary. Displayed in carefully preserved rooms, the artefacts tell the 250-year story of those who made Erddig their home.
