Heveningham Hall
Heveningham Hall is a Grade I listed building in Heveningham, Suffolk. The present house, dating from 1778–80 and incorporating work from an early 18th-century building, was designed by Sir Robert Taylor for Sir Gerald Vanneck, 2nd Baron Huntingfield. The interiors of circa 1781-4 were designed by James Wyatt. The dining room was restored after a fire in 1949 and the east wing, containing the library and drawing room, was gutted by fire in June 1984.[1]
The hall and grounds were bought in 1994 by Foxtons-founder Jon Hunt and his wife for use as a family home.[2] The Hunts have carried out extensive work to restore the building and return the grounds to the original Capability Brown designs.[3]
The hall is also the location for the annual Heveningham Hall Country Fair, which raises money for local charity causes through the Heveningham Hall Country Fair Trust.[4]
The hall is surrounded by Wilderness Reserve.
