Hoxne manor

Hoxne manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a seat of the East Anglian bishops.

[6][7] The manor house still belonged to the Bishop of Norwich, under the name Hoxun Court, during the reign of Henry VIII of England; it passed to the king in 1535.

[8][9][10] The manor house site was then occupied by Hoxne Hall and first owned by Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk.

St Edmund's Memorial marks the place in the grounds of Hoxne manor where an ancient oak stood until 1848.

The current monument was erected by Agnes Burrell Bateman-Hanbury after the first was damaged by a storm in 1905.
