Sir Thomas Daniel the “King and Father of Bristol” was friends with a notorious buccaneer named Samuel “Sam Lord” Hall and would visit Sunbury to have drinks with Thomas Daniel.
A turret was previously on the roof of Sunbury Great House that was used as a signaling station for Thomas Daniel to arrange get-togethers with Sam Lord using mirrors.
The Great House is open to the public and is filled with antiques, collections and trinkets from bygone days.
The grounds can be hired for events, weddings, photoshoots & tours and is a perfect backdrop for media productions.
