For Non Members of English Heritage yes and I think it may be around £4.50 per adult. The best way however to see this, and several hundred other properties, is to take out a membership which in 2017 was around £50.00 for 12 months and so, after visiting as few as 12 properties situated all over the UK you'd have 'got back' your money.

Is there a cafe?
