Restoring history at Oxburgh Hall


Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk has witnessed many defining moments in history, but after the unexpected collapse of a dormer window in 2016, it was discovered that the roof was in desperate need of repair. In this video, Property Curator, Lynsey Coombes, takes you on a tour of some of the objects that were uncovered during the project, including a 15th-century illuminated manuscript. Plus, Project Manager for the Oxburgh Raise the Roof project, David White, reveals the restoration work that's been made possible by your support.
