Home to the Bedingfeld family since 1482, this romantic moated manor house charts history from medieval austerity to Victorian comfort.

Standing within a large square moat, Oxburgh Hall was enclosed until 1772, when Sir Richard Bedingfeld made alterations to create a more open U-shaped house. Perhaps its most impressive feature is the grand fortified gatehouse - designed to evoke the owner's power and prestige. However, this is largely symbolic; Oxburgh has always been a family home, never a fortress.

Another notable part of the hall is the priest hole, reached via a trapdoor disguised in the tile floor. The Catholic Bedingfeld family would have used this tiny room to hide a priest in the event of a raid and, unlike other examples, the one at Oxburgh is open to visitors and you can crawl inside.
