Quidenham Hall

A dwelling is known to have existed on the site as far back as the year 1000, which passed to the Bedingfeld family around 1400.

[1] In 1572 the manor was bought by John Holland, a local Member of Parliament.

[1] The present house dates to around 1600 when John's son, Thomas, started building it.

[1] The East Wing and West portico were added later by John Bristow.

In 1989 some cottages on the property, formerly used as staff living accommodation by the Keppel family, were made over to a hospice for sick children now under the management of East Anglia Children's Hospices, an independent charity under the patronage of Catherine, Princess of Wales.
