Venue Description

No one forgets their first sight of Oxburgh - a romantic moated manor. Built in 1482 by the Catholic Bedingfeld family, it is the enduring legacy of their survival through turbulent times. There are 500 years of history to explore with hidden doors, rooftop views and a secret priest's hole. Do you dare crawl inside? Discover the legacy of the Victorian 6th Baronet who created much of what we see today. Admire the Victorian Gothic interiors, and ornate architectural additions that reflect a romantic view of Oxburgh's medieval past, or enjoy the walled garden and the French parterre. Laid to rest in the private chapel he built, you will also find the stunning 16th century Dutch Triptych altarpiece. The collections include embroideries worked by Mary, Queen of Scots, and colourful wallpapers from the mid-19th century. The moated Hall is surrounded by 210 acres, containing gardens with seasonal interest, streams, woodland walks and a den building area for the family to enjoy.
