Stately Homes in Norfolk To Visit
Oxburgh Hall
Location : Oxborough, King’s Lynn PE33 9PS
Oxburgh Estate has been the family home of the Bedingfelds for more than 500 years, and they still live in private apartments at Oxburgh today.
In the early 19th century, the 6th Baronet began work to decorate and furnish the Hall in the antiquarian style you see today.
He and his wife, Margaret, repurposed panelling, embossed leather, heavy oak furniture, and ancient textiles.
Neo-Gothic wallpapers and fabrics with a recurring theme of heraldic motifs were combined to create a ‘Romantic’ atmosphere – an approach that his son, the 7th Baronet, continued.
