This print captures the essence of Ballingdon Hall, a true gem nestled in Sudbury, Suffolk. Steeped in history and charm, this timber-framed house was built around 1593 by the esteemed Sir Thomas Eden. Its timeless Tudor architecture stands as a testament to the rich heritage of England.
Intriguingly, Ballingdon Hall embarked on an extraordinary journey in 1972 when it was moved an impressive 200 yards during improvements to the A131 road. This remarkable feat showcases not only the hall's resilience but also its significance within the local community.
