Thorington Street

Thorington Street is a large hamlet on the B1068 road, in the Babergh district, in the English county of Suffolk.

[2] Thorington Hall is a Grade-II* Listed manor house, owned and managed by the National Trust, but not regularly open to the public.

In 1700 Thorington Hall was bought by a London Merchant called Bedingfield Heighman and his wife Esther.

[6] Thomas White sold the house in 1746 to Vice-Admiral Sir Joshua Rowley, Bart, of nearby Tendring Hall.

The house required modernisation as there was "stinging nettles growing under bookshelves and toothpaste freezing in the tube in winter".

The house was modernised following the departure of the Wollaston's, which included installing new plumbing and heating systems and upgrading the bathrooms and kitchen.
