1. Oxburgh Hall, completed in 1482, is a moated medieval Manor House which has been home to the Bedingfeld family for over 500 years. (They continue to live here in private apartments).

2. The Saloon was built for the 4th Baronet as a picture gallery and grand reception room. The walls are adorned with portraits of Protestant monarchs (unusual for such a Catholic household).

3. The Drawing Room holds an 18th-century Jacobite glass with cryptic symbols (the 3rd Baronet is believed to have been a secret Jacobite).

4. Personal correspondence from Queen Elizabeth I to Sir Henry Bedingfeld (and the remarkable earliest document announcing Mary I as Queen).

5. The walls of the 1st floor North Corridor are adorned by leather wall-hangings. In a room off to the side are the Oxburgh Hangings - embroidered panels created by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick between 1569 and 1584, while Mary was in captivity on the orders of Elizabeth I.

6. The North Front. In 1952 Sybil, Lady Bedingfeld gave Oxburgh to the National Trust, assisted by the Pilgrim and Dulverton Trusts and the Gordon Daviot Foundation. (Processing note: horrific lens flare issues were - partly - mitigated by dabbling with 'frequency separation' techniques).

Hi Tim,

Cheers - much appreciated!

Fully recommended - as is the adjacent church. For us it was a mid-journey stop-off, but it’s worthy of a much longer stay.

(Of course, by the time we left it was raining… :rolleyes: ).

P&K
