Oxburgh Hall
Oxburgh Hall is a breathtaking moated manor house in Norfolk, built in the 15th century and still encircled by its original moat — one of the most romantic arrivals of any National Trust property. The gatehouse tower is among the finest examples of late medieval brickwork in England, and inside the house the embroideries worked by Mary Queen of Scots are an extraordinary survival. The hall has a melancholy, layered grandeur that makes it deeply memorable.
