Sudley House

In Sudley House visitors can see the only surviving Victorian merchant art collection in Britain still hanging in its original location. It is an exceptional example of a period home, decorated in Victorian style and with many of its original features. Located in the leafy suburbs of south Liverpool, Sudley was the home of the shipping-line owner George Holt, who had a passion for art. Works on display include paintings by major Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Rossetti, Holman Hunt and Millais, along with paintings by Landseer, Turner, and a group of 18th-century portraits by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Romney and Leighton.
