April 2007. Oxburgh Hall and Church. Springtime.
Oxburgh Hall is a 15th-century moated manor house. Built in 1482 by the Bedingfeld family, now owned by the National Trust, Oxburgh Hall has a rich history and stunning architecture.

This includes the impressive gatehouse, a magnificent spiral staircase and the secret doors and priests' hole - where travelling Catholic clergy were forced to hide from their persecutors.

After 500 years, the Bedingfelds are still in residence at Oxburgh Hall. Frances Greathead, the last member of the family to be born there, remembers a happy childhood on the estate.

Also featured is Oxburgh Church which lays just outside the grounds of the Hall and has the tombs of the many of the Bedingfeld family.

I live about 20 minutes from this place and have often visited. Its a beautiful place to visit.
