Bedfield Hall
An isolated ninth-century site, moated around 1300 and adjacent to the eleventh-century church.
Church Lane, Bedfield, Suffolk, IP13 7JJ
For the past 40 years, the house and garden have been the home and working space of artist Timothy Easton. Timothy is also an architectural historian who has been responsible for decoding scribed symbols applied to interiors that helped past occupants gain protection against the fear of malevolent activities. He is a specialist on the painted surfaces of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century buildings and the interiors here have contemporary paintwork, period fittings and enriched plaster ceilings.
The tour starts in the church, continuing in the garden (weather permitting), then on into the house where the lower and upper rooms can be explored.
Tours that are scheduled will be listed below. If none are scheduled yet, please check back later, or find other tours you might enjoy on our tours listing page here.
Open by private tours and overnight stays.
