Otley Hall | Suffolk

Enchanting Grade I Listed 15th Century Hall set in Suffolk

The 15th and 16th-century Tudor Manor House at Otley Hall, set in 10 acres of grounds, has long been regarded as the oldest house in Suffolk. It has survived largely intact, with many rooms essentially unchanged for 500 years. Dedicated to the history and architecture of the late medieval period, the Hall is an exquisite example of this period’s architecture.

Surrounded by serene countryside, Otley Hall has a magical, timeless atmosphere where the present is inextricably interconnected with the past. Step back in time to discover the fascinating historic moments that took place within its walls, including how Bartholomew Gosnold planned his two voyages that would result in the founding of the United States and how Otley Hall may have inspired some of Shakespeare’s greatest works.
