Oxburgh Hall

Oxburgh Hall

15th-century moated manor house

No-one ever forgets their first sight of Oxburgh - a romantic, moated manor house.

Built by the Bedingfeld family in the 15th century, they have lived here ever since. Inside, the family's Catholic history is revealed, complete with a secret priest's hole which you can crawl inside.

See the astonishing needlework by Mary, Queen of Scots, and the private chapel, built with reclaimed materials.

Outside, you can enjoy panoramic views from the gatehouse roof and follow the woodcarving trails in the gardens and woodlands. The late winter drifts of snowdrops are not to be missed.

Education

History comes alive with guided hall tours and activities - including replica artefact handling and outdoor activities. Our friendly,  fully trained volunteer guides are happy to take you back in time.

Self-guided visits allow you to develop your own journey into the past.

Garden Walks

Discover how Oxburgh’s gardens evolved, their history and plants by joining one of our Garden Stewards on a walk. 11.30am and 2pm each open day.

We hope you have a wonderful and inspiring visit exploring Oxburgh.
