Home to the Bedingfeld family for 500 years, Oxburgh reveals one family's unshakable Catholic faith and story of endurance
Plan your day and make the most of your visit to Oxburgh.
It’s hard not to fall in love with Oxburgh Hall, when you catch your first glimpse of the imposing brick manor house reflected in the tranquil moat.
Built by the Bedingfeld family in 1482 as a statement of power and prestige, it remains their family home today. Now peaceful, Oxburgh and the family have endured turbulent times. Through religious persecution, Civil War devastation, near dereliction and threatened demolition, Oxburgh’s story is one of survival. Thanks to your support, the building is currently undergoing a major roof project to safeguard its future and the collection within.
Step inside to discover the legacy of the 6th Baronet who created much of what you see today, from the Victorian Gothic interiors to the ornate architectural additions that reflect a romantic view of Oxburgh's medieval past. We are learning more about the wealth and labour that created and maintained this home over the last 500 years, including 19th-century links to slavery through the 6th Baronet’s brother.
Outside, the gardens are a mixture of formal and wilderness, with the walled garden and French parterre adding colour and seasonal interest. And for those wanting to explore further, you can follow one of the estate walks through woodland and along the River Gadder - keep your eyes peeled for otters.

Major conservation works are happening at Oxburgh and it may look different due to scaffolding and construction works.
Please note that the hall is currently undergoing significant conservation so the outside of the building is wrapped in scaffolding. Our opening times are changing for the winter months so please check for details before you visit. The house is open by guided tour only on Thursdays and Fridays from November to early February (bookable on the day), free flow on Saturdays and Sundays.
