About Kentwell Hall

Great days out for the whole family A timeless Manor House set in acres of stunning, family-friendly gardens and parkland, in the beautiful Suffolk village of Long Melford. Kentwell is a privately-owned family home, acquired by Patrick and Judith Phillips in the 1970s, when it stood neglected and in need of restoration. Over 50 years of renovation have passed, and repairs continue to this day.

  • Great days out for the whole family. A timeless Manor House set in acres of stunning, family-friendly gardens and parkland, in the beautiful Suffolk village of Long Melford.

    Kentwell Hall is one of the finest moated Tudor Houses in England, set in over 25 acres of its own gardens and parkland, with numerous historic buildings. A stunning mellow redbrick house with two forward wings of the early 16th C, surrounded by a broad moat. Its main features are its impressive, little-altered exterior elevations and its separate 15th C part half-timbered service building.

  • Standing majestically in its own parklands, Kentwell Hall is surrounded by a spectacular moat and peaceful and romantic formal and informal gardens.

    A rich and colourful experience throughout the year, the gardens have carpets of snowdrops in early spring followed by a mass of daffodils and cowslips. There are plentiful wild pyramid orchids to be found in summer, when the walled garden is a riot of colour and the rose garden flourishes. Best of all perhaps are the delicate pink American pillar roses which adorn the moat walls. The gardens have evolved under different owners over the centuries and reflect how many people may imagine an old-fashioned country house garden.

  • Spectacular events throughout the year for the whole family.

    For well over 30 years we've been trailblazing Tudor domestic living history events in the UK. However, Kentwell does so much more than that!
