Editing Sudbury Hall (section)

===Interior===
The interior of the house was completed in 1691. There have been a number of small alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the interior was restored 1969-1971 by [[John Beresford Fowler]]. The Great Staircase, designed by [[Edward Pierce (sculptor)|Edward Pierce]], dates from c.1676 and is considered to be one of the finest Restoration staircases in Britain. It is noted for its white-painted balustrade with luxuriant, carved foliage. The landing ceiling is adorned with ornate plasterwork by Robert Bradbury and James Pettifer (1675) and ceiling paintings of mythological scenes by [[Louis Laguerre]]. Other plasterwork within the house was designed by Pettifer, Bradbury and Samuel Mansfield of Derby. Of particular note in the [[drawing room]] is an ornately carved [[overmantel]] by [[Grinling Gibbons]].<ref name="nhle"/>{{sfn|Gomme|Gomme|Maguire|2008|pp=235-236}}

Between c.1872 and 1880, architect George Devey significantly modified and extended an early 19th-century servants' east wing to Sudbury Hall; this now houses the National Trust Museum of Childhood.<ref name="nhle"/>
