Finchcocks

In 1970 Finchcocks was acquired by Richard Burnett, leading exponent of the early piano, and it now contains his magnificent collection of some eighty historical keyboard instruments: chamber organs, harpsichords, virginals, spinets and early pianos. About half of these are restored to full concert condition and are played whenever the house is open to the public. The house, with its high ceilings and oak panelling, provides the perfect setting for music performed on period instruments and Finchcocks is now a music centre of international repute. Many musical events take place here. Open on Sundays: Easter - September; bank holidays; Weds and Thurs in August. By appointment on other days.
