The oldest house in Hackney, Sir Ralph Sadleir's brick manor of 1535, with Tudor linenfold panelling, a Georgian parlour and the murals of the squatters who saved it in the 1980s.
Ralph Sadleir, Principal Secretary of State to Henry VIII, built Bryck Place in 1535, a three-storey H of red brick when Hackney was a village in the fields, and sold it in 1550 to John Machell, a clothworker, who lined the parlour with the linenfold panelling that is still there. It was a girls' boarding school for eighty years from 1657, was given a Georgian front and Georgian rooms in the 1700s, and took its present name in the 1890s from a wrong guess that Thomas Sutton, founder of Charterhouse, had lived in it. The National Trust bought it in 1938 and let it out, squatters moved in when the tenants left in the 1980s and painted the walls, and a local campaign turned it into a museum in 1994 with the squatters' murals kept in one room as part of the story. Breaker's Yard, the garden next door, was made in 2013 on the site of a car-breaker's, with a caravan and a folly in it.
