Rufford Old Hall postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original art by Emily.
Emily’s art postcard offers a vibrant and imaginative view of Rufford Old Hall, where history meets a lively, colourful landscape. The building’s contrasting styles are shown in detail, the red-brick Georgian wing to the left complements the striking black-and-white timber-framed Tudor hall to the right.
A clear blue sky with soft touches of cloud forms a serene backdrop, while the foreground bursts with colour in a field of wildflowers. Splashes of pink, purple, yellow, and blue are scattered across the scene in dotted strokes, giving the flowers energy and movement. Trees and greenery frame the composition, adding depth, while the overall effect captures both the grandeur of the historic hall and the joyful vibrancy of its natural surroundings.

Rufford Old Hall
Rufford Old Hall in Lancashire is an important example of late medieval and Tudor domestic architecture, distinguished by its remarkable timber-framed construction and historical significance. Erected in the 1530s for Sir Robert Hesketh, the hall’s most celebrated feature is its Great Hall, which contains an intricately carved oak screen and an elaborately designed hammerbeam roof, both exemplary of Tudor craftsmanship..
Inside, you’ll find beautifully preserved rooms filled with antique furniture, portraits, and tapestries that bring the stories of past generations to life. The house is set within picturesque gardens and woodland walks, making it a perfect place to explore both indoors and outdoors. Now cared for by the National Trust, Rufford Old Hall
is a destination where history, architecture, and nature come together, offering visitors an enriching and memorable day out.
