Oxburgh Hall,Oxborough
No one forgets their first sight of Oxburgh. Home to the Bedingfeld family since 1482 this stunning red-brick house charts their precarious history from medieval austerity to neo-Gothic Victorian splendour.
It’s hard not to fall in love with Oxburgh Hall, when you catch your first glimpse of the imposing brick manor house reflected in the tranquil moat.
Built by the Bedingfeld family in 1482 as a statement of power, Oxburgh and the family have endured turbulent times. Through religious persecution, Civil War devastation, near dereliction and threatened demolition, Oxburgh’s story is one of survival.
Step inside to discover the legacy of the 6th Baronet who created much of what you see today, from the Victorian Gothic interiors to the ornate architectural additions that reflect a romantic view of Oxburgh's medieval past.
Outside, the gardens are a mixture of formal and wilderness, with the kitchen garden, orchard and herbaceous border adding colour and seasonal interest. And for those wanting to explore further, you can follow one of the estate walks through woodland, along the River Gadder, and out into open meadows.
Following the completion of a massive six-year roof restoration project, Oxburgh Hall has been returned to its former glory, and there's no better time to visit. Now the scaffolding has been fully removed and the once closed rooms are starting to open up again, the team at Oxburgh Hall cannot wait to share their findings from the restoration project. The new ‘Endurance’ exhibition shares the fascinating story of Oxburgh Hall and the Bedingfeld family through time. There are many other things to explore and do at Oxburgh Hall including The medieval Gatehouse, which was one of the main areas that needed restoring and is the best surviving example of the original Tudor building. You can also get better acquainted with what the restoration project entailed in the new display in The Gun Room, and get access to previously restricted areas.
Please be sure to check the opening times on our website before visiting.
