Some Hengrave Hall History - from historical architecture to the wedding venue it is today

Work on the house was begun in 1525 by London Merchant Thomas Kitson, who completed Hengrave Hall in 1538. The house is one of the last exemplifications of a house erected around an enclosed yard with a great hall. It's constructed from gravestones taken from Ixworth Priory( dissolved in 1536) and white bricks ignited at Woolpit. The house is notable for an ornate oriel window incorporating the royal arms of Henry VIII, the Kitson arms and the arms of the daughters of Sir Thomas Kitson.

The tabernacle contains 21 lights of Flemish glass commissioned by Kitson and installed in 1538, depicting deliverance history from the creation of the world to the Last Judgement. This is the only collection of pre-reformation glass that has remained in situ in a domestic tabernacle anywhere in England. In the dining room is a Jacobean emblematic oil over the fireplace that defies interpretation. Also in the Banquet Hall of the house is a window with the fleece of arms of George Washington.

The house was altered by the Gage family in 1775. The external court was demolished and the culvert was filled in. Changes to the front of the house were begun but noway completed, and Sir John Wood tried to restore the interior of the house to its original Tudor appearance in 1899.

He rebuilt most of the house in oak. One room, the Oriel Chamber, retains its original seventeenth-century panelling, in which is bedded a portrayal of James II painted by William Wissing in 1675. The ornate windows and mouldings at the front of the structure point to the cover piece on the Suffolk edition of Pevsner's structures of England.
