Rushford Hall
Formerly called The Lodge or Rushford Lodge, Rushford Hall is believed to be a former manor house lying just south of the county boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk. Before boundary changes at the end of the nineteenth century the house was in Norfolk but is now in Euston parish in Suffolk. It is believed to have been enlarged and altered in the early-eighteenth century to create a substantial country house. It was the home of Thomas Crookenden in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century. His wealth came from sugar plantations, which financed the development of its parkland and construction of a surviving overgrown walled garden. After 1842 it became a tenanted farmhouse, then at the end of the nineteenth century the house site was used to house polo ponies for the next eight decades. In the 1970s it became the base for a farming estate. During these latter periods few changes were made to the gardens and parkland around the house.
