A number of rooms at the historic Sewerby Hall have had to be closed due to water ingress.

The Grade I listed Georgian country house set in 50 acres of landscaped gardens and is a renowned attraction on the East Yorkshire coast.

The recent bad weather could not have come at a worse time, with the summer holidays in full swing and hundreds of visitors expected at the Hall.
