Oxburgh's secret doors and priest-hole make this house of mystery and history. Step back in time through the magnificent Tudor gatehouse into the dangerous world of Tudor politics. Home to the Bedingfeld family since 1482 this stunning red-brick house charts their precarious history from medeival austerity to neo-Gothic Victorian comfort.
As well as beautiful early Mortlake tapestries in the Queen's Room, Oxburgh houses beautiful embroidery by both Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Panoramic views from the roof look over the Victorian French parterre, walled orchard and kitchen garden. A Catholic chapel in the grounds houses an alterpiece, a magnificent devotional focus that recalled the rich traditions of 16th-century Catholic Europe. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1982 with the aid of generous grants from The Art Fund, National Heritage Memorial Fund and the V&A.
