Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk

Oxburgh Hall is a 15th-century moated country house in Oxborough, Norfolk. The hall was built for Sir Edmund Bedingfeld around 1482. The hall is an example of a late mediæval, inward-facing great house. The house stands within a square moat about 240ft on each side. Pevsner described the fortified gatehouse as "the most prominent of the English brick gatehouses of the 15th century". The hall is known for its priest hole, constructed by Nicholas Owen. The house is in the care of the National Trust. It is within the council area of Breckland (Norfolk).
