At last getting to finish posting from last Summer. This will actually take 3 posts as Oxburgh Hall is an amazing place and so photogenic as well as the history.
We visited here on our way home from our week away in Norfolk

Oxburgh Hall is a 15th century moated Manor House

Unfortunately there was some repair work taking place which necessitated portable loos
Our first stop was the tea room as we were ready for a light lunch
Built in 1482 by the Catholic Bedingfield 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.
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 reflected a romantic view of Oxburgh's medieval past, or enjoy the walled garden and the French parterre. Laid to rest in the private chapel that he built, you will also see the stunning 16th century Dutch Triptych alter piece.
The collections include embroideries worked by
Mary, Queen of Scots and colourful wallpapers from the mid 19th century.

Two more posts to come. I hate splitting it up like this but there are far too many photos for one post.
I have finally managed to get to the bottom of photo issues.
When I take photos with my i-pad which I mostly do now, they go through i-cloud and blogger will not recognise these.
It means I have to get them into pictures on my computer before I can use them and/or print them. I-cloud is nothing more than a storage facility.
To be continued
